[ARCHETYPE-523] Failing call to archetype:generate doesn't fail calling build

**[Roland Asmann](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=malice)** opened **[ARCHETYPE-523](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-523?redirect=false)** and commented

At work, we have created an Archetype for a non-project artefact that we want to setup during the build of another project (for integration testing).
So, during the Phase 'generate-test-resources', we have configured the archetype-plugin to run the generate-goal. If the Archetype can be generated without problems, all is fine. However, if the archetype can't be build (for whatever reason), the plugin fails and cancels generating the archetype, but this does not fail the build of the project I was actually building, leading to (incorrect) failures during testing.

Shouldn't the failing of the plugin automatically trigger failing of the Project that was being built? If not, would it be possible to add a parameter for this behavior?

**Affects:** 2.4

Start by reproducing the archetype:generate goal during the generate-test-resources phase with an archetype that cannot be built. Trace how that failure is reported to the project build, and verify that a failed archetype generation causes the containing build to fail; the issue names no files or tests to begin with.
