The new archetype mechanism is different, and the archetypes are
created from existing projects so much of that document is irrelevant.
But archetypes do have their own packaging now, but it's all taken
care of in the background when you use "mvn archetype:create-from-
project".
If you create a simple project using "mvn archetype:generate" then on
that same project you can run "mvn create-from-project" and you'll see
that the project generate has a packaging of "maven-archetype". The
old archetype projects were just resources packaged up in a JAR and
had packaging = "jar". The new archetypes actually have their own
packaging and lifecycle which is "maven-archetype".

Thanks Jason
So the pom example [1] under "1. Create a new project and pom.xml
for the archetype plugin" should be changed from
<packaging>maven-plugin</packaging>
to
<packaging>jar</packaging>

One form is embedding in Maven in the form of a plugin. So it's not
a plugin, but can be accessed through a Maven plugin. Many plugins
use this strategy where they make a set of reusable plexus
components and then provide a mojo wrapper from which maven can
access the functionality.

Disclaimer: I've never used archetypes before.
I've had a look at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-102
I found the attached example project strange, because the pom
specified
<packaging>maven-plugin</packaging>
The poster references the example pom on this page:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html
The page also states that:
"An archetype is a very simple plugin"
Is that really true? Isn't it just a jar file used by the
archetype plugin?

You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in.
No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise
tomorrow.
They know it is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically
dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of
dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or
goals are in doubt.
