Maven錯誤「Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:create 」解決

用maven3新建一個項目時，輸入的命令以下：

mvn archetype:create

出現錯誤以下：

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:create (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Unable to parse configuration of mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:create for parameter #: Cannot create instance of interface org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository: org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository.<init>() -> [Help 1]

可能存在的緣由：好比Java HOME設置不正確，Maven HOME設置不正確，在Maven3使用Maven2的命令。

解決方法：

* JAVA_HOME沒有設置或者設置有誤、m2_home設置有誤

* 刪除/org/apache/maven/plugins/下的maven-archetype-plugin

* archetype:create命令已通過期，須要使用 archetype:generate 來進行代替（方案可行）

* maven-archetype-plugin 2.3版本的插件有問題，換其它版本進行建立（方案可行）

最終我直接升級了命令，問題解決：

mvn archetype:generate
