 When the archetype initializes a project, it needs to create a

Have a look at the example archetypes here [1], they helped me a lot in
understanding how archetypes are meant to be structured.

I answer the last part of your question. The pom.xml for the new project is
the pom you like to use. So it contanins the dipendences, the repositories,
ecc. you decide your new project should have.

Hi,

I have read the Guide to creating archetypes but I am not sure about a 
few things:

I assume that we create the archetype as a maven-plugin. Then it needs a 
pom.
Do I include the archetype ... /archetype in the archetype plugin's 
pom.xml?
Do I  also need to define packagingmaven-plugin/packaging ?
Do we need to define any dependencies ?

When the archetype initializes a project, it needs to create a pom.xml 
for the new project.
That pom.xml is different from the archetype plugin pom.xml.
So how do I define the pom.xml that the archetype plugin should create?

Thanks for your help!

-Alexander
