如何使用Maven原型：使用本地原型生成？

Question

I have a local defined archetype. The problem is that this localy defined archetype is not listed, when i call mvn archetype:generate. What must i do to enable maven to use my own archetype?

Answer 1

execute it as

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

also mention it properly like below:

$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=org.sonatype.mavenbook \
-DartifactId=simple \
-Dpackage=org.sonatype.mavenbook \
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
