amartino commented on ARCHETYPE-122:
------------------------------------
it seems to be related with artifact jar file creation process. Try to open the
jar (i.e winrar) file, modify any entry and save the artifact
> The defined artifact is not an archetype?

> Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8
> Java version: 1.6.0

> Reporter: Geert Pante

> 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...
