Matt, I don't believe this functionality has been implemented in any released plugins. IIUC, you're looking for the archetype plugin to look at your project and turn it into an archetype, which you can later use to create future projects/modules, right? Use your current project as a baseline for future work etc without all the work of *actually* creating an official archetype...
The reason you are getting this error message is that the archetype:create command is attempting to create a new module in the current project, but modules are only supported in projects with packaging type pom, and its seem you're in a non-POM (probably WAR) project directory.

I'm trying to use the archetype plugin to create an archetype from an existing project. From the following issue, I'm not quite sure if this functionality exists or not: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-31 When I try to run archetype:create against Equinox (http://equinox.dev.java.net), I get the following error: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=org.appfuse -DartifactId=equinox-spring-hibernate -Dpackaging=war [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error creating from archetype Embedded error: Unable to add module to the current project as it is not of packaging type 'pom' Is it possible to create an archetype from an existing project?
