Sorry to keep harping on this topic. I'm hoping someone can offer some
advice. :)
As a last test, I intentionally put invalid XML in the
archetype-metadata.xml file. I was able to run archetype:create without it
reporting an XML error. This tells me it's ignoring my metadata file
anyhow.... any ideas on what I can do to work around this?
