STS 2.6.1 R1 Create new Maven Project Appfuse archetypes error

[lchong2]

Hi,

I did the following steps and resulted in error:

1. New project

2. Select Maven Project

3. From archetype catalog, select
Group Id: org.appfuse.archetypes
Artifact Id: appfuse-base-spring

4. Enter required Group Id, Artifact Id, select Finish button

5. STS pops up the following error:
Unable to create project from archetype [org.appfuse.archetypes:appfuse-basic-spring:RELEASE]
The defined artifact is not an archetype

What could be wrong?

I am having the exact same issue - does anyone have any idea about this issue?

UPDATE:
I just found the solution - it turns out that the Internal Archetype Catalog lists the wrong Artifact-Id for appfuse.

Appfuse appended "-archetype" to all its archetype-id whilst the internal STS Catalog still lists them in the old way - hence the problem.

On this site you can generate the correct archtype command line script:
http://static.appfuse.org/archetypes.html

It ends up looking like this:

mvn archetype:generate -B -DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-basic-spring-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=2.1.0 -DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=myproject -DarchetypeRepository=http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/appfuse

Hope that some one will fix the internal archetype catalog soon, the issue has been around for a while.
