I think I've figured out what's going on with the plugin versions. I was
under the impression that Maven updated its local metadata on at least a daily
basis. It would appear that this is not true. I cleaned the archetype libs from
my local repo multiple times and ran the generate command with subsequent
output:
```
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

No matter how many times I ran it, it would always return 2.4. Also, the
Metron archetype wouldn't show up. I would run it in the full dev CentOS vm and
get 3.0.1 every time. I thought it might be some MacPorts or ZShell weirdness,
so I tried with Bash and still the same. Then I downloaded a fresh version of
Maven and ran the binary directly - again, same result. Next, I ran the same
command while adding the "-U" option for updating snapshots. Per the name,
you'd think this would only affect snapshots, however here are the results.
```

The plugin version now resolves to 3.0.1 and our Metron archetype now shows
up as expected in the list.
@ottobackwards per these findings, we should probably add a note in the
docs when using the archetype plugin that tells users to pass the "-U" flag.
Mismatched plugin versions (across the 3.x line) will invariably cause trouble
due to the changes outlined in the following links:
-
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7f4d65fe71b412afd07eb82dc44aa5b65ba0125ddbc28ad279cd110b@%3Cdev.maven.apache.org%3E
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-519
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-438
In summary, the Maven archetype plugin introduced some
non-backwards-compatible changes in 3.0.0.
