The shame for this is that the reason it's broken is not, per se, "NBs" fault.
The issue is that the maven archetypes it originally relied on are now gone and unsupported when the hosting site up and vanished. There's no real magic here, it's just a maven project. But the external dependency rotted away and was never in NBs control in the first place. And I never got a clear answer on where or how NB could host maven archetypes published to the public repository.
