-----Original Message----- From: Charles Kim [mailto:charl...@yahoo-inc.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 3:57 PM To: users@archiva.apache.org Subject: archetype-catalog.xml failing with Not a valid artifact path Hi, "mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://host:9999/repository/public/foo/maven_archetypes"; will append the archetype-catalog.xml and it should fetch the list of archetypes. However, this is failing on Archiva where an exception is thrown with "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not a valid artifact path in a Maven 2 repository, filename 'archetype-catalog.xml' doesn't start with artifact ID" since Archiva is treating this as an artifact. I think there needs to be a check for such case similar to metadata file for an archetype catalog so that it doesn't try to check for valid artifact format. I can create a ticket and submit a patch for this. Thanks. -Charlie
