Tamás Cservenák commented on ARCHETYPE-242:
-------------------------------------------

Not quite true. Central is meant only as "convenience" artifact source, nobody should use it directly anyway. All Maven users should use some sort of MRM (Maven Repository Manager, http://maven.apache.org/repository-management.html)

For example, using Nexus OSS or Pro (http://nexus.sonatype.org/) together with Nexus Archetype Plugin (https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Nexus/Nexus+Archetype+Plugin) gives you exactly that: "live" archetype catalogs. When you deploy an archetype, it immediately gets listed in catalog, and is available to all other consumers of the repository.

> This page http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/specification/archetype-catalog.html states that the default "remote" catalog is located at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml. However, there is no such file on repo1.maven.org and thus the remote catalog is useless.
