Maven Archetype plugin

Hi

I had a question about the maven-archetype-plugin and archetype- 
catalog.xml. Currently the plugin will check in ~/.m2/ for a local  
catalog if you use the -DarchetypeCatalog=local option.  It would be  
nice if the plugin could also searched for the catalog in the global  
config dir much like the way Maven searches for the settings.xml file  
in the global conf dir and then in the users ~/.m2 directory.  At work  
we package Maven along with a company standard settings.xml and I  
would like to do the same thing with the archetype catalog.

I'd be happy to open a JIRA ticket and submit a code patch but I  
wanted to run this by the dev list first to see if this fits in with  
the plugins future direction.

Thanks for your time

Chris

It makes sense for me for everything to behave consistently betwen  
~/.m2 and $M2_HOME/conf.

Cheers,
