Is that the exact command you typed? On one line? The command works just fine with me (except that the archetype version does not exist, I think the latest is 2.0.9-SNAPSHOT). I only get the same error as you if I type the 'mvn' command without the plugin and goal. Please try again and make sure that you type everything on one line, and that you're not missing one or more of the arguments. If it's still not working, what happens if you just type 'mvn archetype:create'?
