[jira] [Commented] (SLING-3102) Inconsistent behaviour when loading archetypes in new Sling bundle project wizard

["Stefan Egli (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3102?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13777293#comment-13777293 ] 

Stefan Egli commented on SLING-3102:
------------------------------------

we need to give the unfamiliar user some help here - it seems like m2eclipse (or for that matter maven)'s handling of archetypes is slightly non intuitive. From what I understand:

 * m2eclipse maintains a list of archetype catalogs. By default the list contains three entries: internal, local and remote. The user can add additional ones.
 * without any further ado, m2eclipse doesn't notice new archetypes being generated in public repositories (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
 * hence it seems like we need to kick maven/m2eclipse to update the archetype catalogs to find new published archetypes (like the one we have in granite)
 * the current way to deal with this fact in slingclipse is to install an embedded version of the archetype in the local repository - this is probably not what we want in the final version..
 * another way would be to trigger a 'crawl' using the following maven command:

mvn archetype:crawl -Dcatalog=/home/<me>/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml

(see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/635543/what-are-the-urls-of-all-the-maven-archetype-catalogs-that-you-know-about)

this regenerates the local (ie ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml) and should learn from any configured repository.

I doubt that there is an API in m2eclipse which allows an archetype:crawl command - so it's probably up to issuing a 'raw' maven command here.. 

The whole thing could be an optional step in the 'new sling project' wizard, in case the archetype does not show up properly as expected.

wdyt?

> The archetype selection wizard has an inconsistent behaviour
> - sometimes only the 'embedded' archetype is shown
> - sometimes the 'embedded' archetype and the 1.0 versions are shown
> However, I can't get the 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT archetype version, which is supposedly installed by us, to show.
