This is old, and you may have figured out your issue, but this is what worked
for us.
We had our artifactory configured to use both apache's official maven
release and snaphot repositories. We also had our settings.xml set to be a
mirrorOf "*" so that everything would go to our artifactory repo.
I couldn't figure out why it kept complaining about
maven-archetype-plugin:pom:1.0-SNAPSHOT. Well, its because the snapshot in
the apache repository is probably busted! I added the
maven-archetype-plugin to the excludes pattern for the apache snapshot repo
and voila, it works.
<remoteRepository>
<key>apache-m2-snapshots</key>
<description>maven.org snapshot repository</description>
<handleReleases>false</handleReleases>
<handleSnapshots>true</handleSnapshots>
<!-- the maven-archetype-plugin is completely screwed up in the m2
snapshots -->
<excludesPattern>org/artifactory/**,org/jfrog/**,org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/**</excludesPattern>
<url>http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository</url>
</remoteRepository>
