Can we use github repository as an artifact while creating maven project?

Question

I've implemented a maven library and published it to GitHub. Now I wanted to use this repository as an archetype to create another maven project (without maven central repo) like below

When I tried this it's giving the below error

Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You'll need to have a git repo which defines 'archetype' project and then package and install it's generated artifact into the github hosted artifact repository.

See this maven guide to define the archrtype

• https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html

And use github actions to publish the artifact.
