Hi,
I've upgraded all our maven archetypes to be based on version 2.0-alpha-4.
Amongst other, this means that it by default is interactive, i.e. you start it and during the generation it will prompt you for groupId etc.
If you still want to use it in 'batch' mode you need to tell it and provide at least groupId and artifactId, for example:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.fornax.cartridges -DarchetypeArtifactId=fornax-cartridges-sculptor-archetype-standalone -DarchetypeVersion=1.7.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=
http://www.fornax-platform.org/archiva/repository/snapshots/ -DinteractiveMode=false -DgroupId=foo -DartifactId=barThis will be available when the next snapshot is deployed.
