Using OpenDaylight starter archetype does not work

Question

Trying to follow the opendaylight developer tutorial to get an initial hello world application running on the controller, however running the command

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.opendaylight.controller -DarchetypeArtifactId=opendaylight-startup-archetype \ -DarchetypeRepository=https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/public/ \ -DarchetypeCatalog=https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/public/archetype-catalog.xml

Results in an error

No plugin found for prefix ' -DarchetypeRepository=https' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (/home/andrew/.m2/repository), opendaylight-snapshot (https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/), opendaylight-mirror (https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/public/), central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)] -> [Help 1]

I've managed to get it to succeed using the command

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:2.17:check (default) on project test-impl: You have 1 Checkstyle violation. -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:2.17:check (default) on project test-impl: You have 1 Checkstyle violation. at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:212) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:153)

Any ideas how to resolve this (or other ways of getting a first app)?

Answer 1

From this link, you can use the following command :

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.opendaylight.controller -DarchetypeArtifactId=opendaylight-startup-archetype \
-DarchetypeRepository=http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/<Snapshot-Type>/ \
-DarchetypeCatalog=remote -DarchetypeVersion=<Archetype-Version>

while replacing Snapshot-Type and Archetype-Version as follows:

Using this search on ODL's Nexus repository:

• For the Oxygen dev snapshot use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.snapshot and Archetype-Version=1.5.0-SNAPSHOT
• For the Nitrogen SR1 snapshot use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.snapshot and Archetype-Version=1.4.1-SNAPSHOT
• For the Nitrogen release use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.release and Archetype-Version=1.4.0
• For the Carbon use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.release and Archetype-Version=1.3.0-Carbon
• For Boron SR0 use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.release and Archetype-Version=1.2.0-Boron
• For Boron SR1 use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.release and Archetype-Version=1.2.1-Boron-SR1
• For Boron SR2 use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.release and Archetype-Version=1.2.2-Boron-SR2
• For the Boron snapshot use Snapshot-Type=opendaylight.snapshot and Archetype-Version=1.2.2-SNAPSHOT

I have found a solution in the OpenDaylight forum.

Please remove -DarchtypeCatlog=http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.release/archetype-catalog.xml

and execute following command.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.opendaylight.controller -DarchetypeArtifactId=opendaylight-startup-archetype -DarchetypeRepository=http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.release -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.0
