I had to do a bit of digging but I finally got it. One question though. If I do mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://url it works fine, but if I do the following it gives me errors mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=artifact-id -DarchetypeGroupId=group-id -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DarchetypeCatalog=http://url I get the following error [INFO] Scanning for projects...

What am I doing wrong?
