Stevo Slavic updated ARCHETYPE-273:
-----------------------------------
Attachment:
org.apache.maven.archetype.maven-archetype-ARCHETYPE-273_&_220_combo.patch
Attaching proposed patch to archetype trunk r892601
([^org.apache.maven.archetype.maven-archetype-ARCHETYPE-273_&_220_combo.patch])
with new ImportRemoteCatalogMojo (archetype:import-catalog goal, mandatory
"repository" parameter with no default value, and optional "repositoryId"
parameter defaulting to "archetype" value).
When run import mojo will:
- load remote archetype catalog from %repository%/archetype-catalog.xml URL;
- load local archetype catalog from %localRepository%/archetype-catalog.xml;
- loop through archetypes listed in remote archetype catalog and for each check:
-- if remote archetype is not listed in local archetype catalog import mojo
will download archetype artifact into local repository and update local
archetype catalog;
- and finally save local archetype catalog to
%localRepository%/archetype-catalog.xml.
This patch also contains my patch for ARCHETYPE-220, adding support for
archetypeRepositoryId parameter to archetype:generate goal. Will look into
separating the two if possible.
Existing tests pass. No new tests have been added yet.

> If I've just published a new archetype, I need to be able to provide the
> developer with a command that allows them to "educate" their local catalog
> about the new archetypes that area available. Currently, it's possible to
> specify an archetype catalog for a single run of the generate goal:
> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://example.com/maven2
> But the catalog is transient. Those entries are not "remembered". The next
> time I run the generate goal...
> mvn archetype:generate
> ...the archetypes in the catalog provided in the previous command are not
> offered as options.
> This is especially problematic when using an IDE to create a new Maven
> project, because the mechanism for providing an archetype catalog differs in
> each IDE. We want them to be in the local repository. Simply point, it's too
> much information for the developer to have to reconcile, especially since
> using an archetype is likely the developer's first exposure to your project.
> It needs to be simple.
> What I'm looking for is a command that I can give the developer to import the
> entries from a remote archetype catalog. A discovery mechanism so to speak.
> I envision the following sequence to work:
> mvn archetype:import -DarchetypeCatalog=http://example.com/maven2
> mvn archetype:generate
> At this point, the developer would see options for the imported archetypes.
> The import goal could even download the archetype JAR files at the same time.
