Olivier Martin commented on ARCHETYPE-159: ------------------------------------------ Same error here, there is an incompatibility between the archetype plugin and Maven 2.0.9. I can reproduce it with any of the default catalog and with our own catalog. The only workaround is to have a local version of the archetype, it's not downloaded from the server. {code} Downloading: http://static.appfuse.org/releases/org/appfuse/archetypes/appfuse-basic-jsf/2.0/appfuse-basic-jsf-2.0.jar org.apache.maven.archetype.downloader.DownloadException: Error downloading. at org.apache.maven.archetype.downloader.DefaultDownloader.download(DefaultDownloader.java:58) at org.apache.maven.archetype.common.DefaultArchetypeArtifactManager.exists(DefaultArchetypeArtifactManager.java:310) at org.apache.maven.archetype.ui.DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator.configureArchetype(DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator.java:103) {code} For me this is a blocker. > mvn archetype:generate is failing to download needed archetype artifacts > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ARCHETYPE-159 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-159 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Archetypes > Environment: Windows XP, Maven 2.0.9 > Reporter: Glen Mazza > > A fresh install of Maven 2.0.9 on Windows XP, if I issue this command: > mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart > I get this error message: > [INFO] The desired archetype does not exist > (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0) > Partial error stack: > [INFO] Scanning for projects... > [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Building Maven Default Project > [INFO] task-segment: [archetype:generate] (aggregator-style) > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Preparing archetype:generate > [INFO] No goals needed for project - skipping > [INFO] Setting property: classpath.resource.loader.class => > 'org.codehaus.plexus > .velocity.ContextClassLoaderResourceLoader'. > [INFO] Setting property: velocimacro.messages.on => 'false'. > [INFO] Setting property: resource.loader => 'classpath'. > [INFO] Setting property: resource.manager.logwhenfound => 'false'. > [INFO] [archetype:generate] > org.apache.maven.archetype.downloader.DownloadNotFoundException: Requested > downl > oad does not exist. > at > org.apache.maven.archetype.downloader.DefaultDownloader.download(Defa > ultDownloader.java:62) > at > org.apache.maven.archetype.common.DefaultArchetypeArtifactManager.exi > sts(DefaultArchetypeArtifactManager.java:310) > at > org.apache.maven.archetype.ui.DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator. > configureArchetype(DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator.java:103) > The same error also happens with an archetype artifact ID of > "maven-archetype-webapp" (and probably all the others as well). > However, if I issue the same command but using archetype:create instead of > :generate, not only will the archetype artifact correctly download (and the > command work successfully), subsequent usages of archetype:generate with that > same archetype artifact will also correctly run. > So I think the problem is that mvn archetype:generate needs to download > archetype artifacts just like mvn archetype:create does. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
