All,

Today I googled for "maven blank webapp archetype" and the top hit is an
example published using 1.0-alpha-7 of the Archetype plugin. Unfortunately,
I didn't catch that the page was for a plugin version so old. I wasted a
good 15 minutes (at least).

It would be really useful to include an SSI banner for pages in the
/plugins-archives folder [1] so that users know they are looking at stale
information. Apache does something similar with Attic projects [2] already.

WDYT? I think it's a disservice not to call out old documentation.

[1] https://maven.apache.org/plugins-archives/
[2] http://jakarta.apache.org/

Cheers,
Paul
