I created an archetype and a local catalog as per: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/specification/archetype-catalog.html
But when I am in the M2Eclipse plugin, after running through the New Maven Project, using this archetype I get this error: *Unable to create project from archetype [com.fedex.ground.archetypes:executable_jar-archetype:1.0 -> null] The desired archetype does not exist (com.fedex.ground.archetypes:executable_jar-archetype:1.0)* But, when I go to the command line, the same thing works fine: *C:\opt\projects\BUILD>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local [INFO] Scanning for projects...
