Using locally built archetypes

[Joseph Boyle]

I build Lift from source and would like to use the archetypes that get built in the archetypes subdirectory. How can I do this?

IIRC, you can specify -DarchetypeCatalog=local on the maven command line.

Thanks, now I see you posted about that earlier. Now getting a different error though:

I don't have any clue if it's related to your problem, but it does appear you're using the "master" branch, which is set to 3.0-SNAPSHOT. As far as I know this branch is not really used or update to date right now -- you should probably use 2.x-2.8_devel instead.

Thanks for the branch tip. 2.x-2.8_devel builds ~/.m2/repository/net/liftweb/lift-archetype-basic_2.8.0/2.1-SNAPSHOT/lift-archetype-basic_2.8.0-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar (note the altered archetype name!). Still getting the same error though when I use this archetype.

Yeah, my maven-fu is not strong enough to answer off the top of my head, sorry. What's the rest of the exception look like?
