> 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.
