Description

Build https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/mojo-archetypes/netbeans-platform-app-archetype and then:

mvn -B -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=netbeans-platform-app-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.7-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=test -DartifactId=whatever -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0:generate

This will print a warning:

[INFO] Archetype repository missing. Using the one from [org.codehaus.mojo.archetypes:netbeans-platform-app-archetype:1.6] found in catalog remote

and then proceed to use the 1.6 archetype, even though 1.7-SNAPSHOT was explicitly requested, and is available in the local repository.

When using 2.0-alpha-5 the same command works as expected, so this is a regression. Breaks usage of local archetype catalog from NB IDE.

Workaround is to pass -DarchetypeRepository=local.
