I think you want to specify the version of your new project, try: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT

This simple command line: mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app fails with: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact. GroupId: org.apache.maven.archetype ArtifactId: maven-archetype-quickstart Version: RELEASE Reason: Unable to determine the release version Try downloading the file manually from the project website. Then, install it using the command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.archetype-DartifactId=m aven-archetype-quickstart \ -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.archetype-DartifactId=maven -archetype-quickstart \ -Dversion=RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file \ -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id] org.apache.maven.archetype:maven-archetype-quickstart:jar:RELEASE I'm still a bit green with maven, is there something fundamental that I'm missing or is this a transient error?
