In fact this method creates (and writes entries to) catalog.xml file located under the project's root. The catalog can be used later, and we actually do that, to work with local resources instead of the remote ones. The javadoc must reflect the interaction with the catalog.
The javadoc also needs to describe how to mutate the catalog using the CatalogWriteModel api. There is currently no javadoc on the Retriever class, so this javadoc could include the related classes like the CatalogWriteModel. I also see that the Retriever returns File from getProjectCatalog() should this be FileObject.
Changed the comments as suggested.
