[jira] Commented: (ARCHETYPE-242) The "remote" archchetype-catalog doesn't really exist.

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-242?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=204898#action_204898 ] 

Kalle Korhonen commented on ARCHETYPE-242:
------------------------------------------

Agree with Stevo, it's still pretty badly broken. MRM doesn't help much if you want to make your archetype available publicly to other users like many open source projects do. There was a discussion about this on Maven users list (http://markmail.org/message/remgjzpl2kdrd7ph?q=+Error+reading+archetype+catalog+http://repo1.maven.org/maven2&page=1&refer=2cb3yjsdlzym52vb) almost a year ago noting that repo1/repo2 should either just run archetype:crawl periodically or Sonatype's Nexus should push the catalog to repo1 but I don't know if either effort has gone anywhere. Considering archetype:create is already deprecated I think this is more than a minor issue. Right now, is there any better workaround than lobby archetype maintainers to include your archetype in the new version of archetype plugin?

> This page http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/specification/archetype-catalog.html states that the default "remote" catalog is located at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml. However, there is no such file on repo1.maven.org and thus the remote catalog is useless.
