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.

Thanks for any help on the problem,

Erik Weibust
