Release Notes - Maven Archetype - Version 2.0

** Bug
    * [ARCHETYPE-202] - Can't download archetype-catalog.xml via proxy 
connection
    * [ARCHETYPE-242] - The "remote" archchetype-catalog doesn't really exist.
    * [ARCHETYPE-271] - archetype create swallows exception information
    * [ARCHETYPE-304] - problem with "mvn archetype:generate" for ear-jee5 
(168)
    * [ARCHETYPE-306] - archetypes downloaded are not downloaded with their 
poms
    * [ARCHETYPE-320] - Generator contacts central repo although archetype is 
available on local Nexus
    * [ARCHETYPE-322] - archetype:generate throws "Too many open files" error
    * [ARCHETYPE-323] - FilesetArchetypeCreator.getGeneratedSourcesDirectory() 
returns hardcoded directory
    * [ARCHETYPE-324] - "(null)" displayed when there is no archetype 
description
    * [ARCHETYPE-326] - fail on mvn install with a archetype created from 
create-from-project command
    * [ARCHETYPE-327] - Inadequate error diagnosis for archetype problems
    * [ARCHETYPE-330] - Incorrect information on maven-archetype-
plugin/source-repository.html
    * [ARCHETYPE-331] - "No archetype repository found. ..." should not be a 
warning
    * [ARCHETYPE-333] - Errors creating project from previously accepted 
archetype
    * [ARCHETYPE-337] - remove goals and properties elements from archetype-
catalog

** Improvement
    * [ARCHETYPE-206] - Document how to generate a project from archetype with 
authenticated repository
    * [ARCHETYPE-282] - When reading the archetype-metadata.xml file, would be 
helpful to know if the XML was badly formed
    * [ARCHETYPE-286] - Use System.getProperty("line.separator") for line 
ending terminators of generated source files
    * [ARCHETYPE-299] - create-from-project doesn't need to add 
<extensions>true</extensions> to template pom
    * [ARCHETYPE-325] - order versions when selecting archetype
    * [ARCHETYPE-336] - Plugin documentation refers to "Maven 2"
    * [ARCHETYPE-338] - add documentation about maven-archetype vs jar 
packaging


** Task
    * [ARCHETYPE-317] - upgrade source to java 5

Enjoy,
