> Key: ARCHETYPE-426
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-426
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin
> Reporter: Greg Thomas
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, if you wish to generate a project from an archetype that is held
> in an authenticated repository, you have to ensure that the server holding
> the artefact has an id in the format <id>[archetypeArtifactId]-repo</id>
> (reference:
> http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/faq.html).
> This means that if you have half-a-dozen different archetypes in your
> authenticated repository, you have to have half-a-dozen servers defined in
> your settings.xml that differ only in their id.
> Instead, it would make more sense if it was possible to supply the server id
> as an optional parameter, e.g. -DServerId=banana (with associated entry in
> the archetype-catalog). This could default to [archetypeArtifactId]-repo if
> not supplied for backward compatibility.
> That way, the settings.xml file will not fill up with duplicate <server>
> entries, all of which need modifying each and every time the password is
> changed.
