Description
According to https://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/generate-mojo.html#archetypeArtifactId a repository with id archetype can be used to resolve catalogs from a remote repository. The same id is supposed to be used in case that repo uses authentication. This contradicts the FAQ entry at https://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/faq.html#authentication which states that the id is supposed to be <archetypeArtifactId>-repo which would require one server section per archetype in a repo requiring authentication.
Also it is unclear which value archetypeArtifact should be set to to consider the catalog from a specific remote repository as
remote is the shortcut for Maven Central repository or its mirror.
But in case there is no mirror for Maven Central but rather a dedicated catalog of custom archetypes maintained in a a custom repo the value is unclear.
Also adding a repository with id archetype to settings would not only affect m-archetype-p but every resolution with Maven.
