Archetype create v. generate

Howdy,

What's the "approved" way to create archetypes when there's an archetype 
metadata file?

So far it seems like I can either do archetype:create, which (so far) 
isn't shuffling the files around from my archetype metadata file, or 
archetype:generate, which does, but has that interactive bit I'd like to 
avoid.

I think I'm using Version: 2.0-alpha-4, which is actually different from 
the one I *thought* I was using, so I'll re-visit my process and see 
what's currently happening, but I'd still appreciate any input.

Thanks,
Dave

Yup this is normal.

archetype:create is the old way a copy/paste from the old
archetype-1.0-alpha plugin
that is kept only for backaward compatibility.
archetype:generate is the prefered way to do things.

Regards.

Oh, I missed that--thanks!

Is it normal that my archetype:create isn't paying attention to the 
archetype-metadata file, or am I missing other things too?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
One can call the generate goal in batch mode w/
mvn -B archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=...

Hi Dave,create is deprecate, generate is a way to go.
If you want it not interactive, read:

Just a ping to see if anybody had any input--I haven't had a chance to 
investigate further yet but need to commit some changes to some 
archetypes and update some documentation soon.

Thanks,
Dave
