RemoteCatalogArchetypeDataSource don't allow to download arbitrary urls
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-161
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-161
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Eugene Kuleshov
org.apache.maven.archetype.Archetype class has the following JavaDoc:
{noformat}
/**
* Gives the catalog of archetypes located at the given url.
* if the url doesn't define a catalog, then 'archetype-catalog.xml' is
appended to it for search.
* @param url the catalog url or base url containing the catalog file.
* @return the catalog.
*/
ArchetypeCatalog getRemoteCatalog( String url );
{noformat}
However implementation of the
org.apache.maven.archetype.source.RemoteCatalogArchetypeDataSource.getArchetypeCatalog(..)
method does not respect above contract and always assume that url is pointing
to some folder that contains archetype-catalog.xml file.
This is very confusing and also prevent to publish multiple archetype catalogs
in the same folder.
