Description

When using archetype:crawl to generate the archetype-catalog.xml for a largish repository, the operation fails due to "Too many open files". This is due to many ZipFile objects (and at least one FileWriter object) not being close()'d.

I've attached a patch against maven-archetype that resolves this issue.
