Description

To create a new SU, I use :
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-service-unit -DgroupId=net.nanthrax.servicemix -DartifactId=http-consumer-su

I have the following Build Error :

[INFO] Error creating from archetype

Embedded error: Error reading the META-INF/archetype.xml descriptor.
The META-INF/archetype.xml descriptor cannot be found.

I have test on SA maven create and the behavior is the same.

Analyzing my m2 local repository, I have seen that, in the servicemix-service-unit-3.2.2.jar and servicemix-service-assembly-3.2.2.jar, the archetype.xml file is located in META-INF/maven/archetype.xml. I have exploded the repackaged the jar files, putting the archetype.xml directly in the META-INF directory.
With this change, the build is OK (it's a workaround).
