Trouble with maven archetype - Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins

Hi All,
 
I've been trying to set up a project using the Adobe Maven archetype for CQ.I've followed exactly the steps in this "http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/aem-how-tos/development/how-to-build-aem-projects-using-apache-maven.html" to build a AEM project.

But i have been getting "BUILD FAILURE" when i run the below mvn command

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/ -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2 -DgroupId=my-group-id -DartifactId=myproject -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=com.mycompany.myproject -DappsFolderName=myproject -DartifactName="My Project" -DcqVersion="5.6.1" -DpackageGroup="my Company" -e

here is the error message

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: The desired archetype does not exist (org.apache.maven.archetypes:multimodule-content-package-archetype:1.0.2)

I have also included both repository and a pluginRepository as below
 

<repositories>

                  <repository>

                    <id>adobe</id>

                    <name>Nexus Proxy Repository</name>

                    <url>http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>

                    <layout>default</layout>

                  </repository>

                </repositories>

                <pluginRepositories>

                  <pluginRepository>

                    <id>adobe</id>

                    <name>Nexus Proxy Repository</name>

                    <url>http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>

                    <layout>default</layout>

                  </pluginRepository>

                </pluginRepositories>

 

Please suggest me

 

Regards,

Anderson

    Hi Anderson, I couldn't reproduce your problem...I used the command that you provided above (copy and paste into terminal) and it worked OK.

    It seems like the archetype is back online on your Nexus today, but yesterday a lot of stuff in com/day/jcr/vault was nuked - including the content-package-maven-plugin (which is back up again today), and the maven-vault-plugin / vault-maven-plugin (which aren't back up yet - but are still referenced in your Advanced Developer course material... guess how much course time we lost yesterday because of that?).

      Try to delete your Maven Repo and re-install it. Follow these directions (copied from an AEM How TO):
       

      Setup Maven in your development environment

      You can use Maven to build an OSGi bundle that contains a Sling Servlet. Maven manages required JAR files that a Java project needs in its class path. Instead of searching the Internet trying to find and download third-party JAR files to include in your project’s class path, Maven manages these dependencies for you.

      You can download Maven 3 from the following URL:

      http://maven.apache.org/download.html

      After you download and extract Maven, create an environment variable named M3_HOME. Assign the Maven install location to this environment variable. For example:

      C:\Programs\Apache\apache-maven-3.0.4

      Set up a system environment variable to reference Maven. To test whether you properly setup Maven, enter the following Maven command into a command prompt:

      %M3_HOME%\bin\mvn -version

      This command provides Maven and Java install details and resembles the following message:

      Java home: C:\Programs\Java64-6\jre
      Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
      OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

       

       

      Create an Adobe CQ archetype project 

      You can create an Adobe CQ archetype project by using the Maven archetype plugin. In this example, assume that the working directory is C:\AdobeCQ. 

       
      Default files created by the Maven archetype plugin
       

      To create an Adobe CQ archetype project, perform these steps:

       

      1. Open the command prompt and go to your working directory (for example, C:\AdobeCQ).

      2. Run the following Maven command:
      mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0 -DarchetypeRepository=adobe-public-releases

       

      3. When prompted for additional information, specify these values:

       

      • groupId: com.adobe.cq.sling
      • artifactId: claim
      • version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
      • package: com.adobe.cq.sling
      • appsFolderName: adobe-training
      • artifactName: Claim Training Package
      • packageGroup: adobe training
      • confirm: Y

       

      4. Once done, you will see a message like:

      Hi,

      I have followed the same steps even facing same issue "The desired archetype does not exist (org.apache.maven.archetypes:multimodule-content-package-archetype:1.0.2)"

      It seems to be issue with setting.xml  configuration for Maven.

      Could any one of you please share you setting.xml  ?

      Regards

      The archetype is back, yes, but the maven-vault-plugin isn't - you'll probably want to ping somebody to either fix that, or fix the CQ5 Advanced Developer Training material...

      Also, to anybody depending on the Adobe public repository: be sure to set up your own Nexus repository and make it proxy the adobe repository, to reduce headaches the next time something blows up.

        Thanks.. It started to work now. I did not do any changes. It was a problem with adobe repo.It seemed like folders have been updated within the last few days and the archetypes have been moved/removed...again thanks for your all informations.

          I found the solution.  You must add -Padobe-public to the command.  In the past, this:

          -DarchetypeRepository=https://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/

          worked, but not anymore.  See here:

          Maven Archetype Plugin – Archetype Repository

          Where it says "As of Maven Archetype Plugin 3.0.0 the archetype resolution has changed. It is not possible anymore to specify the repository via the commandline"

          The command line proposed in the Adobe article omits the -P switch, which tells mvn which profile to use.  The repository is specified in the adobe-public profile.
