Description

It would be nice to have all the XML formats used by Maven and plugins under a published XML schema, for the archetype-catalog.xml the one attached could be published at http://maven.apache.org/xsd/archetype-catalog-1.0.0.xsd

The heading of the archetype-catalog.xml file should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<archetype-catalog xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/archetype-catalog/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/archetype-catalog/1.0.0
    http://maven.apache.org/xsd/archetype-catalog-1.0.0.xsd">
...
</archetype-catalog>
