Maven 2 still absolutely does not work --------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4028 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4028 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.1.0-M1 Environment: Intel Windows XP 2G Ram Reporter: Richard Katz I originally reported this on Maven 2.0.9 and it was marked as closed. But the problem still exists in Maven 2.1.0. I have tried the following 1. Delete the .m2 directory and all its contents. 2. Use the -U option 3. Use the -e option. 4. Run the create Archtype mvn -e archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app (and mvn -e -U archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app) It simply does not work. It fails with the same error as I always get in Maven 2.0.9 : org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found Here is the entire trace: C:\Documents and Settings\Richard Katz>mvn -e -U archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app + Error stacktraces are turned on.
