I'm trying to use a simple archetype command and getting an unexpected error.
When I run: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp I get the error listed below. I don't understand why I would get an error message asking me to install an artifact for a fairly standard Maven archetype. I assumed these were all hosted in a public repo.
