[RESOLVED] Maven Archetype Plugin is Hosed --- and nobody cares

Thanks to Raphaël Piéroni the error was found: there was an extra
<directory> element in my archetype-metadata.xml.  This was not
reported at all by Maven.

You should convert:

        <fileSet filtered="true" packaged="false">
            <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
            <directory>src/test/conf</directory>
        </fileSet>

to:

        <fileSet filtered="true" packaged="false">
            <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
        </fileSet>

        <fileSet filtered="true" packaged="false">
            <directory>src/test/conf</directory>
        </fileSet>

Future versions of the archetype plugin will report the first error,
rather than ignore it leading to the second incomprhensible error (I
received).

Posted by Raphaël Piéroni <ra...@gmail.com>.
One could have found the specification :
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/specification/archetype-metadata.html

Please consider the error raised by the archetype plugin will be ugly
as it will be the exception of the XPP3Parser.
