I found the following tutorial very useful.

Step1: The maven command used to create the web app: mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=test.aasweb -DartifactId=TestWebApp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp

Step2: The following entry was added onto the project's pom.xml.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2</version>
    <configuration>
    <source>1.6</source>
    <target>1.6</target>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
    <wtpapplicationxml>true</wtpapplicationxml>
    <wtpversion>1.5</wtpversion>
    <downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
    <downloadJavadocs>true</downloadJavadocs>
        <classpathContainers>
            <classpathContainer>
                org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container
            </classpathContainer>
            <classpathContainer>
                org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.module.container
            </classpathContainer>
        /classpathContainers>
        <additionalProjectFacets>
            <jst.web>2.5</jst.web>
            <jst.jsf>1.2</jst.jsf>
        </additionalProjectFacets>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Step3: Run the maven command to convert into eclipse project format. mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

Step4: Import the project onto eclipse as Existing Maven project.

You do need to have a settings xml linked under user settings  Located in preferences under maven   But  if that doesn t fix it  like it didn t for many of you  You also have to delete the directory    m2 repository org apache maven archetypes maven-archetype-quickstart  then quit eclipse and try again    This is what solved my problem

I had a similar problem building from just command line Maven   I eventually got past that error by adding -U to the maven arguments     Depending on how you have your source repository configuration set up in your settings xml  sometimes Maven fails to download a particular artifact  so it assumes that the artifact can t be downloaded  even if you change some settings that would give Maven visibility to the artifact if it just tried   -U forces Maven to look again   Now you need to make sure that the artifact Maven is looking for is in at least one of the repositories that is referenced by your settings xml   To know for sure  run  mvn help effective-settings   from the directory of the module you are trying to build   That should give you  among other things  a complete list of the repositories you Maven is using to look for the artifact

I downloaded the jar and pom from  here and put them here     m2 repository org apache maven archetypes maven-archetype-quickstart 1 1

User · Answer

The problem may also come from that you haven t set MAVEN HOME environment variable  So the Maven embedded in Eclipse can t do its job to download the archetype Check if that variable is set upfront
