TeamCity plugin development maven failure

Question

I am following the plugin development tutorial from https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10/Getting+Started+with+Plugin+Development

On step 2 when I run the command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://download.jetbrains.com/teamcity-repository -DarchetypeArtifactId=teamcity-server-plugin -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jetbrains.teamcity.archetypes -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE

I get the following error:

[INFO]

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Maven Archetype 3.0.0 removed archetypeRepository parameter, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-439

So you have to add the remote archetype repository into your settings.xml. Go to your [users]/.m2 folder, create/edit the settings.xml likes that:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                          https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>teamcity</id>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>teamcity-repository</id>
          <name>Teamcity Repository</name>
          <url>http://download.jetbrains.com/teamcity-repository</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
        </repository>
      </repositories>          
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

Then execute maven in your command line

 mvn archetype:generate -P teamcity -DarchetypeArtifactId=teamcity-server-plugin -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jetbrains.teamcity.archetypes -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE

Modify the mirrors in %M2_HOME%\conf\settings.xml

<mirrors>
  <mirror>
    <id>google-maven-central</id>
    <name>Google Maven Central</name>
    <url>https://maven-central.storage.googleapis.com</url>
    <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
  </mirror> 
</mirrors>

Correct command is

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://download.jetbrains.com/teamcity-repository -DarchetypeArtifactId=teamcity-server-plugin -DarchetypeGroupId=org.jetbrains.teamcity.archetypes -DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE

(uses fixed version of archetype plugin)

The documentation will be updated accordingly.

please check that you use documentation of up-to-date TeamCity build: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10/Developing+Plugins+Using+Maven – Nikita Skvortsov Jul 24 '17 at 06:48
What is the point of keeping command that leads to errors in documentation even if that is not up-to-date documentation? Maybe adding a note "this command doesn't work but we anyway provide it for some reason" will help. Users are not familiar with Jetbrains infrastructure, Google led them to the page with invalid command, that is enough for them to leave. – nickolay.laptev Jul 24 '17 at 07:56

the 9.0 documentation will be updated as well soon. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for letting us know. – Nikita Skvortsov Jul 24 '17 at 09:24
