Maven Archetype Catalog is Empty

I see this problem popped up in Dec 2016 but it looks like it’s back again.

I’m setting up Eclipse and when adding the remote archetype, as shown in the tutorial video, taken from the Camunda Docs page ( https://app.camunda.com/nexus/service/rest/repository/browse/camunda-bpm/ ), Eclipse responds with “Remote catalog is empty”.

Can someone look into this?

I’m doing this at home so there are no proxy settings.

Thanks,
Bill

Hey, guess what…I found the problem.

The problem is in the documentation.
If you go to the documentation page:
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.11/user-guide/process-applications/maven-archetypes/

Under the heading: Overview of Available Maven Archetypes
The first entry of the URL on the page is the one I posted in the original message. It does not work.

However, if you scroll down on the same page to the section titled: Usage in Eclipse IDE

It lists a slightly different URL, and that URL works.

So a simple change to the documentation would head off many future problems.

Hi @billrodgers,

what do you expect the docs should look like? Improving the docs is a community work as well. You can easily create a pull request with your suggestion. On the top of every page, you find a direct link behind the github cat to the markdown source for the documentation page served on github.com:

For small changes, you can edit the page on github, commit the changes and create a pull request from the commit.

For more complex changes you can clone the repo and check your changes with hugo on your local computer before you commit them: GitHub - camunda/camunda-docs-manual: Sources of the docs.camunda.org site.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Oh, I see. I didn’t realize I could do that. I’ll give it a shot.
