-----------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify repository/server id used for custom repository
catalog
Key: ARCHETYPE-654
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-654
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Generator
Affects Versions: 3.2.1
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
According to
https://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/generate-mojo.html#archetypeArtifactId
a repository with id {{archetype}} can be used to resolve catalogs from a
remote repository. The same id is supposed to be used in case that repo uses
authentication. This contradicts the FAQ entry at
https://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/faq.html#authentication
which states that the id is supposed to be {{<archetypeArtifactId>-repo}}
which would require one server section per archetype in a repo requiring
authentication.
Also it is unclear which value {{archetypeArtifact}} should be set to to
consider the catalog from a specific remote repository as {{remote}} is the
shortcut for Maven Central repository or its mirror. But in case there is no
mirror for Maven Central but rather a dedicated catalog of custom archetypes
maintained in a a custom repo the value is unclear.
Also adding a repository with id {{archetype}} to settings would not only
affect m-archetype-p but every resolution with Maven.
