This page will hold the complete list of archetype (even not hosted at apache).
Each archetype page should enforce the following pattern :
- Archetype name
- Command line to call the archetype
- If the archetype can be used in an existing projects directory
- A tree view of the resulting files
- Some additional information like the additional properties used by the plugin
To use an archetype:
mvn archetype:generate
Generate gives you a wizard that will walk you through the various choices.
or
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create -DgroupId=<your group> -DartifactId=<your artifact> -DarchetypeArtifactId=<wanted artifact> -DarchetypeGroupId=<wanted artifact group>

Quick Reference
A quick reference of available archetypes and their repositories. This list is designed so it can be automatically retrieved from archetype front-ends such as Archy - http://code.google.com/p/archy. Only archetypes that don't have any "released" artifacts need a version number.
