[jira] [Commented] (ARCHETYPE-521) Cannot specify remote repository for generate project from archetype

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-521?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15871877#comment-15871877 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on ARCHETYPE-521:
------------------------------------------

bq. Question: How can I specify specific repository for generating project (without editing settings.xml file)?

Allowing to set a URL via commandline is considered to be a security leak, so specifying the repository (id: archetype) in the {{settings.xml}} is the right way.

> I wanted to create new project using mvn archetype:generate command.
> Desired archetype was absent in the central repo, so I tried to use -DarchetypeRepository=repo.url param. But this param is out of date in 3.0.0 version of plugin.
> So I needed to use  mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate command.

> (-DarchetypeCatalog=repo.url doesn't work too)
