[jira] Commented: (ARCHETYPE-366) Maven mirror consulted after, rather than instead of, archetypeRepository URL

["Herve Boutemy (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-366?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=276273#comment-276273 ] 

Herve Boutemy commented on ARCHETYPE-366:
-----------------------------------------

I'm uneasy with this patch
I understand that it fixes your precise test case (with so few code change)
but I'm not sure it is ok for every other use case: not using the url explicitely defined in the CLI as a first choice seems strange
I don't have a precise real-world use case where this order would be used to do something useful, but I'm careful when it comes to such change

In fact, when I look at repository use in archetype plugin, it seems that not defining an id is a problem (or using archetype-artifactId-repo isn't really great)

but adding id support for repositories is a non-trivial task...

> and Nexus is consulted first, but this parameter is needed as a workaround for ARCHETYPE-344.
> One complicating factor with this example is that the 1.2 release of the archetype does not seem to be present in the Central index; I have no clue why. (It was released on February 15, i.e. more than three weeks ago, and my understanding is that the index is rebuilt weekly.) May not have anything to do with this bug, though.
