ARchetype

[Jon Strayer]

I'm having trouble getting the archetype plugin to update.  I deleted all
the versions in my personal repository.  But when I run "mvn
archetype:generate" it downloads version 1.0-aplha-4 instead of the latest
version 2.0-alpha-3.

Looking at the meta data at
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/archetype/maven-archetype/maven-metadata.xml
:

<metadata>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.archetype</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-archetype</artifactId>
   <version>1.0-alpha-4</version>
  <versioning>
   <release>2.0-alpha-3</release>
      <versions>
         <version>1.0-alpha-4</version>
         <version>1.0-alpha-7</version>
         <version>2.0-alpha-1</version>
         <version>2.0-alpha-2</version>
         <version>2.0-alpha-3</version>
      </versions>
      <lastUpdated>20080424212921</lastUpdated>
   </versioning>
</metadata>

Is the version in the <version> tag the default?  Should it be changed?
