Re: [m2e-users] Dumb newbie archetype question
Well, I can see the archetype jar on Maven Central: http://search.maven.org/#browse%7C1710771789 
If your Nexus instance claims it does not exist, something is amiss there.
Also note that Nexus maintains archetype-catalog.xml metadata file at the root of each Maven2 repository. Have you looked at it? If it's empty / missing a rebuild can be requested from Nexus administrative UI. 

Cheers,
Rafał

Thanks, but that's exactly the problem. I thought I'd see the webapp archetype under org.apache.maven.archetypes - but I don't! Where is it? Does this simply mean that my company's Nexus is missing something this basic? Hard to believe but possible, I guess. Browsing the Nexus, I see a pom for /org/apache/maven/archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp but nothing else. How is an archetype supposed to be implemented? Are we missing something?

And pick the webapp archteype.

Pardon the dumb newbie question but I'm new to archetypes and am being driven crazy by this device that is supposed to make my life simple.
OK, I've upgraded to Eclipse 3.7. I've gotten the latest m2e and m2e-wtp. I want to play with a simple tutorial example first. OK, this looks like a good one: http://www.insaneprogramming.be/?p=140 

First step the author recommends:
We're going to start with a basic web application, which in my case means firing up Maven's mvn archetype:generate and choosing the simple webapp archetype. So now we have this: 

.
|-- pom.xml
`-- src
    `-- main
        |-- resources
        `-- webapp
            |-- WEB-INF
            |   `-- web.xml
            `-- index.jsp
Evidently, the author thought it was too simple to provide the name of this simple webapp archetype, but doing a little googling, I find that he must mean maven-archetype-webapp from org.apache.maven.archetypes, which is documented to produce the structure he's aiming for.
But lo and behold, I don't find this archetype in the list brought up by m2e. My company's Nexus repository supposedly mirrors maven central. So what gives? Why can't I find this SIMPLE archetype to build this SIMPLE project? Why is this SIMPLE thing taking me all day? 

<end-of-rant>
Seriously, I'd appreciate any help. Has this thing been deprecated, removed, or something? How SHOULD I create a simple webapp from an archetype using m2e?
