Hey Raphaël, I added the settings to my settings.xml as you described and ran
archetype:create-from-project. The POM file referenced 2.0-alpha-2.
$ mvn -P apache-snapshots archetype:create-from-project
$ cat target/generated-sources/archetype/pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
...
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.archetype</groupId>
<artifactId>archetype-packaging</artifactId>
<version>2.0-alpha-2</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-archetype-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-alpha-2</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
So I added the following to my parent POM, and the resulting POM under
target/generated-sources/archetype had 2.0-alpha-3 in them.
...
<build>
...
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.archetype</groupId>
<artifactId>archetype-packaging</artifactId>
<version>2.0-alpha-3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-archetype-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-alpha-3-SNAPSHOT</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>
...
</build>
...
Unfortunately, I now get the following error when rerunning
archetype:create-from-project:
...

I tried including commons-lang in POMs to see if that would help, but no luck.
Thanks

Hi John,
This feature is provided by the 2.0-alpha-3 version of the Archetype plugin.
This version is not yet released.
But you can try the last snapshot by adding a repository to apache snapshot [1].
1. The goal to call from the project directory (or parent in case of a multi
module) is 'mvn archetype:create-from-project'.
2. Then go to the target/generated-sources/archetype directory and see if the
generated archetype is correct.
install the archetype in your local repository by calling 'mvn install' as
usual.
3. Then go to a fresh directory and call 'mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeCatalog=local'.
Step 3 may don't work because repositories defined in profiles in the
settings.xml file are recognised only when maven is called in a project's
directory. One may try to use the apache's snapshot repository as mirror of
central (not tested).
Another workaround i see is compiling the plugin from the sources.
Please share your experience of using the plugin afterward.
Thanks,
Raphaël
