[jira] [Commented] (ARCHETYPE-561) Plugin picks 1.0 version of archetype when versionId not specified

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16811583#comment-16811583 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on ARCHETYPE-561:
------------------------------------------

Looks like the default value of archetypeVersion has not even been documented, so your LATEST is based on assumption ;) But knowing the info is there the plugin should indeed be improved to make use of that.

>                 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
>            Priority: Minor
>
> 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: 
> {code:java}
> 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
> {code}
> 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).
