It is possible to use an alternative catalog as the internal one by defining the archetypeCatalog property to a specific value which can be one of:
internalto use the internal catalog only.localto use the local catalog only.remoteto use the maven's remote catalog. No catalog is currently provided.
The default value is remote,local. Thus the local catalog is shown just after the remote one.
