Well, I deleted my local repository cache and reissued the command and it worked ... for a time. Now, I'm back at this point again and specifying the version didn't help (and I've never had to do that before). This is very frustrating, anyone have any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I think this part is the key, but I just don't know what it means:
GroupId: org.apache.maven.archetype ArtifactId: maven-archetype-quickstart Version: RELEASE Reason: Unable to determine the release version Thanks for any help.
