mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local does not list my archetype

maven-archetype

First, I created an archetype project and installed it to the local maven repository.

Next, I ran mvn archetype:crawl to generate an archetype-catalog.xml at C:\Users\Administrator\.m2\repository\archetype-catalog.xml.

<archetype>
  <groupId>dfr.custom.archetypes</groupId>
  <artifactId>archetype_webapp-archetype</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <description>archetype_webapp</description>
</archetype>

When I want to use it to generate a new maven project,I can't find it use mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local, I got "No archetype defined".

In addition, I tried to run mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=file://C:\Users\Administrator\\.m2\repository,it worked.

Choose archetype: 1: file://C:\Users\Administrator\\.m2\repository -> dfr.custom.archetypes:archetype_webapp-archetype (archetype_webapp)

...

9: file://C:\Users\Administrator\\.m2\repository -> org.jboss.spring.archetypes:spring-mvc-webapp (getting-started) Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): 3:

what went wrong?

I ran "mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local -X" and I found the reason.

I remembered that I had changed my window 7's Destop default path when I saw the follwing messages:

Maven's localRepository is "${user.home}/.m2/repository".Although I set 

<localRepository>C:\Users\Administrator\.m2\repository</localRepository>

in "E:\apache-maven-3.3.3\conf\settings.xml" and "C:\Users\Administrator\.m2\settings.xml",user.home has not changed and remain "D:\".

system environment variable user.home's path is user.destop's parent path.

open the registry,find the " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders",I find the Desktop's path is "D:\Desktop",so the user.home's path is "D:\" now.

I update the localRepository to <localRepository>${user.home}/.m2/repository</localRepository> and copy the C:\Users\Administrator\.m2 directory to d:\ .
