I don't think there's an archetype for a pom type project.  It's come
up before though, maybe there should be.  I usually just copy one from
another project and edit it.  All you need is:

<project ... >
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.example</groupId>
  <artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>
</project>

It's interesting that it includes packaging when you use the archetype
to create a standalone project but not if you use it to create a child
project.  However, packaging of jar is the default, so you don't have
to specify it.  (Try removing <packaging> from the standalone
project-- mvn install will still work.)
