Description

When using command "mvn archetype:create", if the archetype is stored in a remote repository other than central, even if that remote repository is defined in settings.xml (both as a repository and a plugin repository), then, it is ignored when maven tries to resolve the archetype. Maven thus fails with reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository.

To make sure that my repository is being ignored, I have put a dummy url in the repository definition in settings.xml and Maven doesn't even try to resolve the archetype artifact from my repository.

Cheers
