I just finished downloading maven 2 and am now trying to create a new
project using the example described on the getting started page. I am
able to execute mvn -version with no problems, however when I attempt to
execute
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app
I get the following error:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.
[INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from central

Based on the above message I would have expected the archtype plugin to
already be downloaded. BTW, I am behind a firewall which uses a policy
file (not sure how to configure this in the proxy section)
Thanks for any help.

I guess that I was expecting that a new install would not need to get
anything from the outside. I would have expected that over time this
would be an issue but not the first time I use the application.
Thanks

The problem is entirely related to your proxy situation. I have no
idea how to resolve this "policy file" proxy firewall, unfortunately.
Perhaps someone else has experienced this and knows what to do?
Arguably, until you get this proxy situation figured out, you can
always manually download the jars and poms and install them in your m2
user directory... But that sounds like a lot of work to me.

Maven requires access to a remote repository. If your firewall
prevents this you'll need to setup a local one. Information for this
can be found spread around the maven documentation and "Better Builds
with Maven" guide.
Can you get me out of my two year contract? =)

I strongly agree. Your proxy problems are not Maven's fault...
Just be glad someone has written code which enables Maven to work over
your proxy... otherwise you'd have to hack the open source code
yourself. ;-)

But the proxy is your company proxy.
Shouldn't you blame your company for not trusting their employees
without the use of a proxy vs maven?
PS. This is all sent from behind my company's proxy where it's probably
being flagged for dissention.
PPS. Hi network guys.

Hi,
Try doing the following in the command line:
mvn archetype:create –DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp –DgroupId=top.level.java.package –DartifactId=dirName
top.level.java.package should be name_of_package
dirName should be application_name
Please note: I tried to run the above cmd and the error read “Unable to determine the release version. Try downloading the file manually from the project website.”
*****Note if you get the above error make sure that the spacing is correct. There is only a space between the webapp and the -Dgroup and the package and -Dartifact commands.
Hopefully this helps,
Matilda

I just finished downloading maven 2 and am now trying to create a new
project using the example described on the getting started page. I am
able to execute mvn -version with no problems, however when I attempt to
execute
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app
I get the following error:
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.

Based on the above message I would have expected the archtype plugin to
already be downloaded. BTW, I am behind a firewall which uses a policy
file (not sure how to configure this in the proxy section)
Thanks for any help.
