Immanuel, After printing the "Scanning for Projects..." message, maven is walking down the source tree in the current folder. It is looking for a pom.xml and then processing the modules to find those poms.
In your case, there should be no poms since you are doing a create, so it's a little odd that it hangs there. Try adding the -X command to see what you get for output. I tried the exact command you pasted and it's ok for me on 2.0.8: C:\Users\brianf\temp>mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=maven-test -DartifactId=mave n-test [INFO] Scanning for projects...

I have searched this mailing list for this problem and already found some related mails, but nothing that actually solves my problem. Any idea why maven hangs? After "maven in 5 hours" ;-) I have no clue where to look at. May be it would be helpful to know how maven scans for projects in order to understand how it possibly runs into cycles.
