problem with archetype
I'm trying to use a simple archetype command and getting an unexpected error.
When I run: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app
-DartifactId=my-webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
I get the error listed below. I don't understand why I would get an error
message asking me to install an artifact for a fairly standard Maven
archetype. I assumed these were all hosted in a public repo.
Thanks for any help on the problem,
Erik Weibust

Wendy, Erik,
Looks like we saw http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-916 given that the
version gets resolved to RELEASE.
This is the most prevalent bugger I've seen on Maven, sort of grown to live
with it by nuking bits of my local repository every now and then.
Shall we re-open it?
Alex

The default repository update policy is 'daily'. If it fails once,
Maven won't check a given repository for a given artifact again until
the next day.
You can override this with -U on the command line, or by deleting the
metadata from your local repository.

Thanks Alex...
I'm back in business. The strange thing is that I didn't have to delete
anything from my repo and the archetype just worked today.?.?
How could something get corrupted like you described?

I had this bugger bite me during an "Evangelizing session" just yesterday at
around the time you posted this (mine involved the quickstart archetype
thought).
I was also behind a proxy there. But the problem was that the archetypes
metadata got corrupted somehow. Go check
${user.home}/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/archetypes/maven-archetype-webapp/maven-*.xml
If you see something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><metadata>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.archetypes</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-archetype-webapp</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-4</version>
</metadata>
with missing <versioning> then we saw the same bugger.
Just nuke the
${user.home}/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/archetypes/maven-archetype-webapp
folder from your local repository and try again.
I've just tried your command behind the corporate proxy here and it
succeeded.
My 2¢,
Alex

You guessed it. I'm sitting here in a large company, behind an ugly
firewall/proxy.

Seems strange that I'm trying to use an archetype to create my maven
project structure and pom, and I need to provide a pom to get the
archetype to work.

Are you behind a firewall and have to use a proxy to access the central repo? If yes: The Archetype plugin has a bug and ignores any proxy settings you have configured in your settings.xml unless there's a pom.xml in the directory in which you execute mvn...
