Where are added archetypes stored in IntelliJ?

Tags:

When creating a Maven-based project/module in IDEA you can click "Add archetype". Where are these new archetype values stored? I looked in my ~/.m2/repository but I don't think that's it…

Bonus question: what are the best practices around "Add archetype"? Just curious. I'm prone to skipping this in IDEA and just using mvn from the command line.

Where are Maven archetypes stored?

What is archetype in Maven IntelliJ?

To use custom Maven Archetypes, you had to add external Maven Archetypes manually. This plugin for IntelliJ IDEA allows you to define a list of external Maven Archetype Catalog files. Those files are fetched and the containing Maven Archetypes are made available in IntelliJ IDEA when creating new Maven projects.

The information about added archetypes are stored in the file

Linux: ~/.IntelliJIdea10/system/Maven/Indices/UserArchetypes.xml

Mac: ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea12/Maven/Indices/UserArchetypes.xml

You can edit this file directly. You need to restart IntelliJ after editing this file. There is no other way at this point in time to modify this information, see issue http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-60985

The archetype plugins will be downloaded to your local repository.
