Description

When the archetype's are in a password protected repository you can't download the archetype

Command used:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=nl.func.quickstart -DarchetypeArtifactId=quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DgroupId=nl.func.test -DartifactId=apple -DarchetypeRepository=https://maven.func.nl

There is a "archetypeRepository" option, but there is no option to bind a server id from the settings.xml.

Could this, or some other solution, be added?

My current workaround is to use scpexe instead of https.

Command used:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=nl.func.quickstart -DarchetypeArtifactId=quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DgroupId=nl.func.test -DartifactId=apple -DarchetypeRepository=scpexe://maven.func.nl/var/sites/nl.func.maven/www/ -Darchetype.interactive=false
