Herve Boutemy closed ARCHETYPE-300.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Herve Boutemy

I didn't know this remoteRepositories parameter, then I checked back in module history: this attribute was here [in 1.0-alpha-*|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/archetype/tags/maven-archetype-1.0-alpha-7/maven-archetype-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/archetype/MavenArchetypeMojo.java] and [disappeared in 2.0-beta-1|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/archetype/tags/maven-archetype-2.0-alpha-1/archetype-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archetype/mojos/CreateProjectFromArchetypeMojo.java?revision=697931&view=markup] in february 2008

your problem has nothing to do with the fresh 2.0-alpha-5 release: I don't know why you have users that today still resolve 1.0-alpha-7 instead of 2.0-alpha-*, and even when they resolve 2.0, the fact that this parameter isn't used shouldn't cause any harm since the archetype mentionned in the mailing list is defined in internal catalog

I really don't know what happened to your users lately that wasn't happening to them for 2 years.
I tested today and everything is ok

please open another Jira issue if something is wrong

> Since 2.0-alpha-5 property "remoteRepositories" is replace by "archetypeRepository". I agree it's a better name, but it introduce BREAKING change for the command like
> {code}
> mvn archetype:generate -U \
> -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb \
> -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic \
> -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \
> -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases \
> -DgroupId=xxx \
> -DartifactId=xxx \
> -Dversion=xxx
> {code}
> And this kind of command is provide in lot of framework documentation (lift, wicket,...). Break it raise trouble for new user (and other).
> Please provide a update (to be backward compatible) ASAP.
