The defined artifact is not an archetype?
-----------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-122
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-122
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archetypes
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-1
Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8
Java version: 1.6.0
OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows"
Reporter: Geert Pante
Attachments: ebit-test-archetype-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar,
ebit-test-archetype-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom, ebit-test-archetype.zip
I'm using maven-archetype-plugin from
http://people.apache.org/~rafale/staging-repo/maven-archetype-plugin/.
I'm stuck trying to create a basic archetype. I created a POM with
packaging=maven-archetype and build extension
org.apache.maven.archetype:archetype-packaging:2.0-alpha-1. I put the resources
from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/archetype/tags/maven-archetype-2.0-alpha-1/archetype-common/src/test/archetypes/basic-1.0
under src/main/resources and managed to package and install the archetype.
However, when I try to generate a new project from the archetype, I get:
-> The defined artifact is not an archetype
I see in the code that you first try to parse
META-INF/maven/archetype-metadata.xml, and then META-INF/maven/archetype.xml. I
assume that my archetype-metadata.xml is correct, but I'm not sure. I don't
need to have an archetype.xml, I guess...
See attachment for sample project, and full stack trace below:
