I'm trying to use the appfuse-basic-string described at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archetypes+List and it is not working. I think I need to specify the URL of the repository on the command line. I did maven -help but was surprised to find such a small number of switches and no switch for the repository. I did a google search for maven repositories thinking surely someone else already asked this question but I could not find my answer.
(1) How do I specify the URL of the repository if there is no pom.xml yet? (2) Do I need to specify http://static.appfuse.org/releases as the repository for the appfuse archetypes? I tried "mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=www.signitek -DartifactId=demo-basic-spring -DarchetypeArtifactId=org.appfuse.archetypes -DarchetypeGroupId=appfuse-basic-spring -DremoteRepositories=http://static.appfuse.org/releases"; but this did not help. (3) If not, what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Siegfried mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=www.signitek -DartifactId=demo-basic-spring -DarchetypeArtifactId=org.appfuse.archetypes -DarchetypeGroupId=appfuse-basic-spring [INFO] Scanning for projects...
