>                 Key: COCOON-2214
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2214
>             Project: Cocoon
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: - Build System: Maven, - Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.2-dev (Current SVN)
>            Reporter: David Legg
>            Priority: Minor
>         Attachments: archetype-catalog.xml

> Version 2.0.9 (and maybe earlier) of Maven has deprecated the use of the archetype:create goal in favour of archetype:generate.
> As of this report the Cocoon Tutorial uses archetype:create in its instructions and this causes a warning to be issued when attempting to build blocks.
> After discussion on the list it was felt the solution was to start using archetype:generate but this changes the behaviour of Maven such that it interactively asks for values such as the artifactId and groupId etc.  Unfortunately, the first question it asks is which archetype you wish to build and by default this list is huge and will continue to grow as more projects use it.
> Attached to this note is a file which if placed in a suitable location on the Cocoon web site could be used to reduce the archetype list to just those required for Cocoon (Currently 3 items).
> The Cocoon tutorial would need to be updated to replace the archetype:create command to something like the following: -
>   mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://[path to catalog]/archetype-catalog.xml
> This would generate output similar to the following: -
>   [INFO] Scanning for projects...
>   [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.
>   ...
>   [INFO] [archetype:generate]
>   [INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode
>   [INFO] No archetype defined. Using maven-archetype-quickstart (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0)
>   Choose archetype:
>   1: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block-plain (Creates an empty Cocoon block)
>   2: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block (Creates a minimal Cocoon block)
>   3: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-webapp (Creates a web application Cocoon block)
>   Choose a number:  (1/2/3): Choose archetype:
> This should be much more comprehensible to new users.
