[jira] [Updated] (BEAM-810) Beam's uses of archetypes are problematic

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-810?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daniel Halperin updated BEAM-810:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
1. Using a version range in the archetype pom.xml is inaccurate, because we don't have a stable API. We can't actually expect an older version to work as we make backwards-incompatible changes.

1. In PR #936, a decision was made to pin the version of the archetype. This requires manual changes to update many places (archetype-resources), which breaks the release process in a few different ways. See [BEAM-806].

1. Travis uses `mvn verify`, not `mvn install` -- so archetypes are not properly tested and instead we're actually picking up the SNAPSHOT archetypes deployed the prior night (IIRC).

1. There was some other issue with parallelizing maven where archetypes are not properly marked as depending on "you can't test the archetype until you've installed the examples packages".

1. We're not actually testing that the archetype-generated projects actually compile. [BEAM-641].

This is all pretty ugly. Suggestions wanted.
