Use org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create if you need the old style commands. The new version 2.0 has an issue with backwards compat and should be fixed shortly.

Why? Why does it try to download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/my-package/wagon-http-shared/1.0-beta-2/wagon-http-shared-1.0-beta-2.pom? That doesn't look like it makes much sense to me, but perhaps I am missing something? I tried specifying the archetype explicitly on the command line (trailsframework is the thing I am actually interested in): >mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.trailsframework-DarchetypeArtifactId=trails-archetype -DarchetypeVersion= 1.1.1 -DgroupId=com.my-package -DartifactId=myTrailsProject [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Why has it ignored my selection of the archetype? Why doesn't it try to download trails-archetype? I can see http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/trailsframework/trails-archetype/1.1.1/which looks to match the archetype specified pretty well. This looks a bit as though it might be related to issue MNG-3356, but I don't have any other commons-cli installation: >apt-cache policy libcommons-cli-java libcommons-cli-java: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.0-8 Version table: 1.0-8 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages and besides Maven looks like it has its own version built in: >jar tf /usr/local/apache-maven/lib/maven-2.0.8-uber.jar | grep commons/cli org/apache/commons/cli/ org/apache/commons/cli/AlreadySelectedException.class org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException.class org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLine.class org/apache/commons/cli/Option.class org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser.class org/apache/commons/cli/Options.class org/apache/commons/cli/OptionGroup.class org/apache/commons/cli/Parser.class org/apache/commons/cli/MissingOptionException.class org/apache/commons/cli/GnuParser.class org/apache/commons/cli/HelpFormatter$StringBufferComparator.class org/apache/commons/cli/HelpFormatter$1.class org/apache/commons/cli/HelpFormatter.class org/apache/commons/cli/MissingArgumentException.class org/apache/commons/cli/PatternOptionBuilder.class org/apache/commons/cli/PosixParser.class org/apache/commons/cli/TypeHandler.class org/apache/commons/cli/UnrecognizedOptionException.class org/apache/commons/cli/OptionBuilder.class org/apache/commons/cli/BasicParser.class What am I doing wrong???
