This step doesn't actually specify that you are creating a Clojure project. The groupId and artifactId here are names used in the project you are creating (typically they would be your own package namespace and the name of your project respectively). As you have not specified the type of archetype, Maven has used the default "maven-archetype-quickstart", which creates a trivial Java project.

It does not relate to Clojure at all, that is just the name you have given it. Out of the box, Maven actually has no support for Clojure. However, at this point, where you are just starting out with Maven (and when you might not actually need to explicitly compile your Clojure), it might be better to just leverage the dependency management by using the Maven Ant tasks from an Ant build, or use Ivy+Ant to grab the dependencies from the Maven repository. That is, just use Maven or Ivy to grab the latest Clojure jar files and use the default on the fly compilation for your Clojure code. If you do need to compile your Clojure code ahead-of-time (AOT), you will need a Maven plugin like: http://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin/tree/master I've not used this plugin but it appears to be in the early stages. There is also: http://github.com/dysinger/clojure-pom/tree/master which appears to use the Maven antrun plugin to call the Clojure compiler, rather than implementing a full-blown Maven plugin.
