请注意红色部分为错误产生的根本原因，
由于maven
还处于开发过程中，开发方极有可能已经更新某个plug-in
的版本，但本地plug-in
的metadata
没有版本的信息或者没有最新版本的信息，致使maven
无法下载正确的版本。同时请注意蓝色部分，这是提示的解决办法。具体步骤如下：
1.打开网址：http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/apache/maven/archetypes/maven-archetype-quickstart/
2.选择最新版本并且下载最新的“maven-archetype-quickstart-1.0-alpha-4.jar ”文件
3.安装这个archetype到maven本地仓库。使用命令如下：mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.archtypes -Dar
tifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -Dversion=1.0-alpha-4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=c:\7000\maven\maven-archetype-quickstart-1.0-alpha-4.jar。注意-Dfile是刚下载的文件的路径。
现在在cmd中执行mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app就可以创建新项目了。
