Description
Our archetype is hosted internally in the company repository.
Our settings.xml contains profiles with the internal repository locations.
I mkdir C:\temp\archtest
I execute mvn archetype:create -D.... etc
I get "could not download archetype ... from central
Next I put a valid pom.xml in the working dir
I execute mvn archetype:create -D etc
I get an expected error since the directory is not empty, but now if I check my local repository the archetype is downloaded from the company repository. !! Why wasn't it found until a pom.xml is in the directory?
Now I delete the pom.xml
Now I can build sucessfully.
It would appear the profiles where we define our repositories are not being used until the pom.xml is available. But even mvn -P archetype:create doesn't resolve the issue.
