Laurie, It's not failing but the mvn archetype:create goal has to be run in an empty folder.
The site archetype is not so complex, so you're better choice IMHO is to follow this guide: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-site.html It's very straight forward and you'll learn what's going on behind the scenes.

I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I'm not sure what... [tmp] $ mvn -version Maven version: 2.0.2 [tmp] $ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app - DartifactId=my-app ...

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- [INFO] my-app already exists - please run from a clean directory [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ... I tried running the site archetype from the my-app directory created by the base archetype, but that just resulted in a nested my-app/my- app... I also tried running the archetypes in the opposite order, but got the same error. Any help appreciated ;-) L.
