No archetype defined when doing mvn archetype:generate with URL for

I was trying to set archetypeCatalog to URL when doing mvn archetype:generate but always shown no catalog or artifact found.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://myfaces.apache.org

10: internal -> org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp (An archetype which contains a sample Maven Webapp project.)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): 7:

According to Maven archetype guide I should be able to set archetypeCatalog as URL:

http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/examples/generate-alternative-catalog.html

Any hints or guide what I did wrong? Thanks!

Looks like issue with latest Maven archetype plugin:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-519

This is regression from previous release.

Turning back to 2.4 solve this issue.
