archetype:generate does not use <localRepository> in settings.xml when looking
for archetype-catalog.xml
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-283
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-283
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
Environment: Windows XP, Maven 2.2.1, maven-archetype-plugin
2.0-alpha4
Reporter: ChristopherC
'mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local' always looks in
~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml i.e. it will always look in the
USER_HOME/archetype-catalog.xml regardless of whether the local repository
location has been overridden in the settings.xml.
You can verify this by deleting your archetype-catalog.xml in your home
directory and creating a new one in a different directory - which you then
specify in settings.xml e.g.:
<localRepository>D:\differentrepo</localRepository>
This will not pick up the archetype when running 'mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeCatalog=local'. Now copy a valid archetype catalog to your home
directory e.g. ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml and run 'mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeCatalog=local' and you will see it is not using the localRepository
from the settings.xml but somewhere it is hardcoded to use the user's home
directory /.m2/.
