I think it has more to do with the repository manager not knowing the version of archetype plugin to retrieve, or something like that. You should retry your command-line using full plugin specification : mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate -D.......(your options) You should only have to do this once, then using archetype:generate should be enough. Hope this helps, Jeremie 2012/5/28 Paul Moore <[email protected]>:

When I try to use Maven as described in the tutorial, I get an error:

That is not the right behavior of Maven... archetype:generate doesn't expect a pom to exist already, since the goal of this command is to generate a pom.
What version of Maven are you using?
mvn -version
should print something like:
Apache Maven 3.0.4

I'm a little concerned about the "-DarchetypeVersion=3.3" flag. I'm using XWiki 4.0. Is this page out of date?
Indeed, you should use the most recent (stable) version available, so 4.0
Same result :-(
