archetype plugin doesn't use private plugin repository configured in
<MAVEN-HOME>/conf/settings.xml
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-59
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-59
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archetypes
Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-4
Environment: windows xp
jdk 1.5.0_09-b01
Reporter: Martin Testrot
I configured the file <Maven-Home>/conf/settings to use a local, private plugin
repository to prevent uncontrolled download from the official central
repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2. This works fine except in the case
I call the archetype plugin (archetype:create). In this case the settings.xml
is ignored and all plugins are downloaded from the central repository at
maven.org.
I observed the same when calling mvn help:active-profiles in a directory that
doesn't contain a pom.xml file.
If I place a dummy pom.xml file in this directory the settings.xml are used and
everything is fine. But if I use this trick with the archetype plugin the newly
created project (creation via archetype) is configured as a child of my dummy
pom (pom.xml contains parent section with dummy pom). I the case of a dummy
pom this is not intended.
So i would be nice if you can fix the archtype plugin to use the configured
settings.xml. I really would like to use this plugin, because it would help a
lot to standardize a common project layout for our developers. This is a majour
reason for choosing maven2.
Greetings,
Martin
Here is the relevant section of my settings.xml:
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<!-- profile for using private plugin and 3rd party
repositories -->
<id>private-repo</id>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<!-- repository contains all
maven-plugins required to run our build -->
<id>central</id>
<name>private plugin repository</name>
<url>http://localserver/mvn-repos/maven-plugin</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>private-repo</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
