-----------------------------------

Hi,

According to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-152 archetype.xml seems to be obsolete and replaced by archetype-metadata.xml with version 2.0 of the Maven archetype plugin. Therefore I removed the archetype.xml file.

I am not sure what you mean by "I think we should also support the more explicit way by specifying properties on the command line."? 

The archetype catalog should only be relevant for end users but not for the creation of the archetype. End users could either refer to the catalog file:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml

and then choose the archetype from which an instance project shall be created from a list with all archetypes of the catalog.

Or they can refer directly to the archetype by archetypeRepository, archetypeArtifactId and archetypeGroupId:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.hibernate -DarchetypeArtifactId=hibernate-validator-archetype -DarchetypeRepository=http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/

I like the idea of having an instance project in SVN and creating the archetype on the fly from it. After calling archetype:create-from-project the generated archetype project would have to be built, too in order to deploy it to the local/JBoss Maven repo (while the instance project JAR shouldn't be deployed at all).

And the instance project would have to be renamed (e.g. to hibernate-validator-quickstart), as archetype:create-from-project will add "-archetype" to the artifactId of the generated archetype, currently resulting in hibernate-validator-archetype-archetype probably.
