archetype-common, like any other Maven component, does not instanciate components directly but uses plexus container as dependency injection toolkit. Maven core does the container initialization for Maven usage, but if you're creating a standalone application, you have to init the container yourself and retrieve the first component. See "Executing the Plexus Application" in Plexus quickstart [1]
