OK, I was able to solve this.
When I typed "java -version" at the command line, it told me 1.6.0_31, so I thought I was running the latest. But when I later looked at the JAVA_HOME env var, which maven uses, it pointed to an old 1.5.0 JDK.
One I pointed it to a newer 1.6.0_31 jdk, mvn ran fine.

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I've googled the maven mailing lists for this and found nothing.

I was able to run maven (and thus use C3) on my development desktop machine (running Windows 7). But when I tried running maven on another machine, I got the following mysterious error output:

D:\Apache Group\c3>mvn -X -e archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.cocoon.archetype-parent -DarchetypeArtifactId=cocoon-archetype-parent -DarchetypeVersion=3.0.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=org.sil -DartifactId=theParent -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

Error transferring file: RSA premaster secret error

I've googled around other places and found advice to the effect that something is "stuffing up the child JVM's bootclasspath in a way that causes the crypto libraries to break".
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2152988/rsa-secret-premaster-error
However I have no idea how to address that problem.
Install a new version of Java and make sure its JRE is at the front of the classpath?

Is there a way to just tell maven not to use https?
I tried changing the repo URL to use "http" instead of "https", but that just gave me a bunch of checksum warnings and XML validation errors.

Thanks,
Lars
