Grek,

The section titled "Creating a block" gives a maven command which uses the deprecated goal "archetype:create" instead of "archetype:generate"

1. Let's switch to interactive mode and provide archetype catalog...
2. Give up interactive mode completely and stick to utterly long command...

The question is which one we prefer? What do you, dear users, think about it?

I think I prefer option 1 as well.

I don't mind the interactivity as it helps beginners get it right first time... especially if you give clear instructions in the tutorial about what to answer at each prompt and what the answers mean. The Maven manual page for this plugin [1] is more like I would expect to see in the tutorial (although I'd definitely want the responses highlighted though).

I can't believe that Maven attempts to list *every* archetype. That list is going to get awfully long, very quickly.

Regards,
David Legg
