Mule XML SDK and its Error in Maven Settings.xml - maven

Question

I'm doing the XML SDK in Mule 4.2.2 with Maven 3.6.3 [though Mule inbuild using (3.6.9)] and AnypointStudio 7.4.2 . Please clarify my doubts
1) Is that XML SDK connectorPlugin creation is supported only in Mule-EE version or public?
2) I'm using the below Maven command and settings.xml , which is throwing 401 Unauthorized (Warning) and error as 'Archetype' issue.
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.mule.extensions -DarchetypeArtifactId=xml-mule-extensions-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.1 -DgroupId=org.mule.extension -DartifactId=error-handler-framework -DmuleConnectorName=ErrorHandler
Error I'm getting as below. But i can able to assess this URL https://repository.mulesoft.org/releases/ without Login. Not sure why its throwing 401
[WARNING] Failure to transfer org.mule.tools/maven-metadata.xml from
https://repository.mulesoft.org/releases/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of mulesoft-releases has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer metadata org.mule.tools/maven-metadata.xml from/to mulesoft-releases (https://repository.mulesoft.org/releases/): authenticationrequired (401)

I also tried giving Public Repo, instead Mule-ee in the above settings. Still the same error. Please direct me a standard settings.xml for Mule if any.
3) Though Mule inbuild for this runtime 4.2.2 using Maven 3.6.9. Can we use lower version 3.6.3 (I believe this is the stable version now)?

Thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know if needed more information.

Answer 1

I think you need to declare the repos as pluginRepositories too for the archetype to work. HTH

Answer 2

This dependency is available only for MuleSoft Enterprise Maven customer repository only.
IN XML SDK other than transform message this ee xsd may not require., I have created a log forwarder without using this dependency.
