Hi,

I’m trying to create a new project, using the archetype, using the following command:

```
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate \
-DarchetypeRepository=https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.onehippo.cms7 \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=hippo-project-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=13.0.0

```

However I get presented with the following error:

```
Downloading from hippo-project-archetype-repo: https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2/org/onehippo/cms7/hippo-project-archetype/13.0.0/hippo-project-archetype-13.0.0.jar

```

This might suggest it can’t retrieve the definition from the maven repository, but when I tried the archetype with version 12.6.0 it did work.

Any suggestion as to what I might be doing wrong is welcome, but it appears as if the archetype wasn’t defined properly, perhaps?

Hey Jens,

are you sure you have access to [https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise](https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise) ? Since we did not yet publicly announce the 13.0.0, the archetype is not yet deployed to the community mvn repository, so that [https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2/org/onehippo/cms7/hippo-project-archetype/13.0.0/hippo-project-archetype-13.0.0.jar](https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2/org/onehippo/cms7/hippo-project-archetype/13.0.0/hippo-project-archetype-13.0.0.jar) can’t be found is correct. However it is present in the enterprise mvn repo at [https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise/org/onehippo/cms7/hippo-project-archetype/13.0.0/](https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise/org/onehippo/cms7/hippo-project-archetype/13.0.0/) . Can you validate whether you have really access to that mvn repo?

Regards Ard

or just use one from:

> **[Get Started with BloomReach Experience Manager - Enterprise Java Content...](https://www.onehippo.org/trails/getting-started/hippo-essentials-getting-started.html)**
>
> Hippo Open Source Enterprise Content Management

  
and upgrade to enterprise pom with essentials.

Hi Ard,

Thanks for getting back to me. I found out that my credentials for the enterprise repository were set in my maven `settings.xml` file with the id `hippo-maven2-enterprise` and the archetype required an id of `hippo-project-archetype-repo`. So basically I duplicated my credentials node in the `settings.xml` and changed the id to `hippo-project-archetype-repo` and now it works.

Example:

```
<servers>
    <server>
    	<id>hippo-maven2-enterprise</id>
    	<username>user</username>
    	<password>pass</password>
    </server>
    <server>
    	<id>hippo-project-archetype-repo</id>
    	<username>user</username>
		<password>pass</password>
	</server>
</servers>

```

Thanks for helping out!

Kind regards,  
Jens
