Thanks for the quick response!

Yes, I tried to generate the archetype via mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeCatalog=local

this is the output I'm getting:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.

When I use mvn archetype:crawl I get following output:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

[INFO]  Archetype

....

So Maven obviously notices the archetype, but still I can't generate a
project out of it.

I have to say, when I tried the batch option as in the link you provided me,
it did work. But why is that?

Thnak you!
