     <p>These are standard catalog files which contain information about Archetypes so that users
     can be presented with a list of archetypes from any number of catalogs to generate new
     projects.</p>
+    <p>The Archetype Plugin knows by default its internal catalog. It also knows
+    about the <code>local</code> and <code>remote<code> catalogs:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li><code>local</code> represents the <code>~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml</code> catalog file,</li>
+      <li><code>remote</code> represents the <code>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml</code> catalog file.
+    </ul>
+    <p>The Archetype Plugin can also read catalogs from filesystem/HTTP by providing the path/URL of a catalog file or
+    of a directory containing an <code>archetype-catalog.xml</code> file.</p>
