Anders Hammar commented on ARCHETYPE-426: ----------------------------------------- @Greg: No, it's not related. > Improved handling of authenticated repositories when generating a project > from an archetype > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-426 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-426 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugin > Reporter: Greg Thomas > Priority: Minor > > Currently, if you wish to generate a project from an archetype that is held > in an authenticated repository, you have to ensure that the server holding > the artefact has an id in the format <id>[archetypeArtifactId]-repo</id> > (reference: > http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/faq.html). > This means that if you have half-a-dozen different archetypes in your > authenticated repository, you have to have half-a-dozen servers defined in > your settings.xml that differ only in their id. > Instead, it would make more sense if it was possible to supply the server id > as an optional parameter, e.g. -DServerId=banana (with associated entry in > the archetype-catalog). This could default to [archetypeArtifactId]-repo if > not supplied for backward compatibility. > That way, the settings.xml file will not fill up with duplicate <server> > entries, all of which need modifying each and every time the password is > changed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
