- <question>How to generate a project from an archetype in an
authenticated repository?</question>
+ <question>How to generate a project from an archetype in a custom
(potentially authenticated) repository?</question>
<answer>
- <p>The server id used to download the artifact is
<code><i>[archetypeArtifactId]</i>-repo</code>: you have to
Review Comment:
this repo id is format is still used in
https://github.com/apache/maven-archetype/blob/3a2b725198c3823fd5d7e9f88b665b2e4515a202/archetype-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archetype/generator/DefaultArchetypeGenerator.java#L70
(i.e. for downloading the actual archetype (not the catalog)), not sure if it
just acts as a fallback though.

> 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
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> 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
> bq. {{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.
