Failed to generate project from the old archetype

[Timothy Reilly-2]

 
I am getting this error when trying to create projects from our
corporate archetype:

!ENTRY org.maven.ide.eclipse 4 -1 2008-06-25 15:31:31.496 !MESSAGE

 Chris G and Igor had a similar thread regarding this error  (or very
very similar)
http://www.nabble.com/Controlling-Stack-Depth-of-traces-to17888815.html

Was there any solution or known issue from this? I can try to trace this
(always time consuming though) so if anyone has suggestions as to
possible cause - thank you.

Best regards,
-Tim

Tim,

  Does your archetype using some default values for optional parameters?
If so, that won't work in m2eclipse 0.9.4. We need to pickup new
archtype component, which we haven't done yet (maybe next week).

Hi Eugene,

I think it is that fact that I selected a location which is not the
workspace default. I just changed my attempt to use the default
workspace location and everything went fine.

(But then I tried to create a submodule and I got some error dialogs. I
think the submodule is okay. I'll open a jira with a sample project if I
get a minute here.)
