Simone Bordet commented on ARCHETYPE-519:
-----------------------------------------
I frankly don't understand the rationale behind this - is there any detailed
discussion/reference about ?
I loved the idea that newcomers to a project could just run {{mvn
archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://project.org}} from any directory
and voilà they had a project ready.
Now they have to fiddle with the {{settings.xml}} file, which they may not
have, which in Windows who knows where it actually is, lookup what to paste, be
sure there are no XML errors, etc.
In the instructions to quickly try out a project, the difference is between 1
line of documentation and 1 page of documentation - the latter tends to drive
people away.
I would appreciate to have the rationale explained.
Thanks !
