Hello Joseph, Archetype list is picked up from the archetype catalog [1]. This is controlled by the parameter 'archetypeCatalog' when you invoke the goal 'archetype:generate' (defaults to 'internal,local') [2].
Thus, what you see by default is the internal list that is picked up from archetype-catalog.xml that is bundled internally. That catalog is an old one. The only way to have archetype:generate pick up new catalog is to specify one via -DarchetypeCatalog. For example, "mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://scala-tools.org/"; should show you the new list. That said, we don't have the new catalog of archetypes deployed on http://scala-tools.org/archetype-catalog.xml. Please raise a ticket for this. Till then, the longer version of archetype:generate (with '-DarchetypeRepository=... -DremoteRepositories=...' etc.) works best.
