Description

see https://lists.apache.org/thread/pssotrxjjgvd6dflp594h7z7rl89h297
the message does not help at all understanding WHY: what file is looking at? is it looking at the wrong file, or is the file not containing expected content?

we should at least point to the file that was tried to be used as an archetype so the user can investigate further
