Plugin metadata not replaced even with -cpu

[Neil Crow <cr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

When trying to use the new archetype plugin (2.0-alpha-4), the new version
wouldn't resolve, even when I specified the -cpu command line option.

I found a post with the following work-around:
>>>
FYI - I had to specify the full name to get it to work:

./apache-maven-2.0.10/bin/mvn -e org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-
archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-4:generate -U - DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb
-DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype- blank -DarchetypeVersion=1.0
-DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases-DgroupId=demo.helloworld
- DartifactId=helloworld -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
>>>

After that I checked the metadata files on my local repo and found that they
were not updated even although I had specified -cpu.
I manually deleted the files and reran the unqualified command which then
worked successfully.

del
...m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-archetype-plugin\maven-metadata*

I am running on mvn-2.2.1, Windows XP, I previously had
maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-4 installed.

Is this a bug with the -cpu option?

Neil.
