             Summary: Plugin picks 1.0 version of archetype when versionId not specified
                 Key: ARCHETYPE-561
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-561
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Generator
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
            Reporter: Bruno Borges


When creating a project out of an archetype without specifying -DarchetypeVersion, the generator will use version 1.0, even though the maven-metadata.xml points to a later version.

The command is the following, for a clean user local repository Maven setup: 

{{mvn archetype:generate \}}
{{  -DarchetypeGroupId='com.microsoft.azure' \}}
{{  -DarchetypeArtifactId='azure-functions-archetype' \}}
{{  -DgroupId='com.function.hello' \}}
{{  -DartifactId='helloworld' \}}
{{  -Dversion='1.0-SNAPSHOT' \}}
{{  -Dpackage='com.function.hello' \}}
{{  -DappName='helloworld-1554551180252' \}}
{{  -B -DarchetypeCatalog=internal}}

Now, even though -DarchetypeCatalog=internal is provided, and because the archetype does not exist in the local repository, Maven does download version 1.0 of this archetype's groupId/artifactId by default, ignoring the <latest> version specified in Maven Central's maven-metadata.xml

As one can see in the maven-metadata.xml [1], the latest version is 1.21 (or higher).
