Description

I wanted to create new project using mvn archetype:generate command.
Desired archetype was absent in the central repo, so I tried to use -DarchetypeRepository=repo.url param. But this param is out of date in 3.0.0 version of plugin.
So I needed to use mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate command.

Question: How can I specify specific repository for generating project (without editing settings.xml file)?
(-DarchetypeCatalog=repo.url doesn't work too)
