Description
I'm using maven-archetype-plugin from http://people.apache.org/~rafale/staging-repo/maven-archetype-plugin/.
I'm stuck trying to create a basic archetype. I created a POM with packaging=maven-archetype and build extension org.apache.maven.archetype:archetype-packaging:2.0-alpha-1. I put the resources from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/archetype/tags/maven-archetype-2.0-alpha-1/archetype-common/src/test/archetypes/basic-1.0 under src/main/resources and managed to package and install the archetype.
However, when I try to generate a new project from the archetype, I get:
-> The defined artifact is not an archetype
I see in the code that you first try to parse META-INF/maven/archetype-metadata.xml, and then META-INF/maven/archetype.xml. I assume that my archetype-metadata.xml is correct, but I'm not sure. I don't need to have an archetype.xml, I guess...
See attachment for sample project, and full stack trace below:
