^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - If you look at the plugin docs [1], you'll see that m2 defaults to version "RELEASE" for all archetypes. - Now maven complains that it can't find this version, so your best bet is to go and have a look on the repository itself [2] to see what versions are available there for this particular archetype. You will see there that only 1.0-alpha-2 is available. Solution : add -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-alpha-2 to your commandline.
