You need to specify the archetype repository: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/generate-mojo.html#archetypeRepository Justin

I have packaged it and installed to my local repository usin mvn package install command. I've navigated in my repo to test if the jar is installed, and it is. But when I try to create a project using my archetype I get a message that the artifact cannot be found. This is the comman I executed: mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=com.google.gae.maven - DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-gae-project -DgroupId=xxx.yyy.zzz - DartifactId=my-gae-project This is the error message: Embedded error: org.apache.maven.archetype.downloader.DownloadNotFoundException: Requested download does not exist. Unable to determine the release version Any idea? thanks.
