More playing around with getting this to fly; using latest WOLips,

You can check on the versions installed by:
$ ls ~/.m2/repository/com/webobjects/JavaWebObjects
I've got:
5.4.2 _SNAPSHOT
5.4.3
5.4.3_SNAPSHOT
and six other maven-metadata*.xml files
You'll see a list of folders (one per version) for that framework
each of which contain the relevant jar etc.
I've been able to successfully install the WO snapshots
Do you mean the nightlies from Apple? How did you install?
Just be careful if you copied the apple nightlies over the top of
your current repo install of WO as it'll bork your catalog xml file
(in the above dir for example).
I just ran the wobootstrap:install mojo as documented here: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/maven-wobootstrap-plugin
I should have been more clear; I don't think this actually gives the
nightly snapshots from apple, but rather installs your local libraries
into the local repos, correct? Thanks for pointing out the distinction.
and build and install wonder into my local repository using maven,
but when trying to use the woapplication-archetype as defined in
my local archetype-catalog in ~/.m2/ to create a new project by
doing the following:
mvn -e archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
and then selecting "1" when presented with this prompt:
Choose archetype: 1: local -> woapplication-archetype (WebObjects
Application Archetype) 2: local -> woframework-archetype
(WebObjects Framework Archetype) Choose a number: (1/2): 1
as documented on the wiki here: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/woapplication-archetype
I"m getting: org.apache.maven.BuildFailureException: The desired
archetype does not exist
(org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2:woapplication-archetype:2.0.16)
it appears to be trying to grab this from here:
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/woapplication-archetype/2.0.16/woapplication-archetype-2.0.16.jar
and it's not there.
Here's my archetype-catalog.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><archetype-catalog>
<archetypes>
<archetype>
<groupId>org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>woapplication-archetype</artifactId>

<description>WebObjects Framework Archetype</description>
</archetype>
</archetypes>
</archetype-catalog>
Do I need to define a different repository someplace, use a
different version number, or... ?
You've got the settings.xml file in ~/.m2 right? i.e., the one found
here:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Quick+Start
Yup, exactly as is appears with the downloaded file, which as an
aside, does not download properly if you simply click the link; I had
to explicitly "Save downloaded file as..." to get it to work; here's
what mine looks like:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

I'm not able to wrap my head around the answer from reading the
book or googling, so any help is appreciated. Any best practices
about conventional places to define repositories for this sort of
artifact would be helpful.
See the Quick+Start guide.
Yeah, I think the problem is either the archetype that's described in
my archetype-catalog.xml file is not available where maven is looking,
which would seems like it should be at the mdimension repos, OR,
somehow, the repository location is not properly associated with the
described archetype. And that's what I'm really trying to figure out
ultimately. Well, that and how to solve it;-)
Should it go in my local settings.xml,
yes. Any plugins that are not in maven's main repository that you
depend on for creating projects you should define the repositories
for in your local settings.xml file in ~/.m2. This will additionally
assist maven when it comes to building your project.
OK, so revisiting the original question, the problem I seem to be
having is that maven is trying to locate the archetype from the
central maven repository such that when I do this:
mvn -e archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
and then selecting "1" when presented with this prompt:
Choose archetype: 1: local -> woapplication-archetype (WebObjects
Application Archetype) 2: local -> woframework-archetype
(WebObjects Framework Archetype) Choose a number: (1/2): 1
it ultimately fails with this:
org.apache.maven.BuildFailureException: The desired archetype does
not exist (org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2:woapplication-archetype:
2.0.16)
it appears to be trying to grab this from here:
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/woapplication-archetype/2.0.16/woapplication-archetype-2.0.16.jar
and it's not there.
It seems to me it's trying to add the actual archetype to the local
repository, and not being able to find it as it's looking in the wrong
place. Am I completely wrong here?
Thanks Lachlan, I'm sure I'm getting pretty close, just need to clear
up these last few details.
with regards,
