Hi community,
nearly a decade ago I was involved in a project that was based on Apache
Tapestry. It was great for an Java Web beginner to start with.
After all this years, I want to go back to my roots and re-try or
re-evaluate Tapestry again.
## Problem
Sad to say, that I was not able to get Tapestry with the current Getting
started or Hotel Booking examples running on my machine.
## Versions
Java version: 1.8.0_191
Apache Maven version: 3.6.0
Operating system: Windows 10 (1903)
## Errors
### Getting started:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.0.1:generate

.apache.maven.archetype.exception.ArchetypeGenerationFailure: Error merging

### Hotel booking example

Thanks for all your helpful tips! It's great to see that this project is
still alive!
Kind regards from Germany,
