To reproduce follow these steps:

1. Install m2eclipse plugin
2. In Eclipse select File -> New -> Project...
3. Select Maven -> Maven Project and click "Next"
4. Click "Next" again
5. Click "Add Archetype..."
6. In Archetype Group Id enter "de.akquinet.android.archetypes"
7. In Archetype Artifact Id" enter "android-quickstart"
8. In Archetype Version enter "1.0.4"
9. Click "OK"
10. Click Next
11. In "Group Id" enter "com.example"
12. In "Artifact Id" enter "test-app"

Hi,

This is a bug in the archetype descriptors. I'm on it ! Thanks for reporting.

[rgladwell]

No worries, thanks for the great work on the archetypes. Hoping to add them to my GettingStarted page for m2eclipse-android-integration, or even integrating them inside the plugin.

Let me know if you need any help.

Hi,

I've just fixed the issue. Could you build the archetype from the current code and test?
Be sure you see the correct archetype in m2eclipse (1.5.0-SNAPSHOT). If it works, I will release it.

[rgladwell]

Which repo did you deploy the SNAPSHOT to? I think I need to add it to my settings.xml.

[cescoffier]

It's not deployed in any maven repo (I can deploy it on snapshots-central if you want).

You need to download the source and build the archetype (mvn clean install -DskipTests=true), and then rebuild your archetype catalog (mvn archetype:crawl).

[rgladwell]

Did you mean 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT? Test, seems to be working. Thanks!

[rgladwell]

Verified

[cescoffier]

Thanks !
