Maven Problem by crearting a new project with "mvn archetype:create"

[thomas2004ch]

Hi all,

Usually I create a new project with following mvn command:

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.weichen.app -DartifactId=TestClusteringEJB

But today as I use this command to create a new project I got error as follow. What could wrong?

D:\Temp\MyProjects>mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.weichen.app -DartifactId=TestClusteringEJB

Apparently your local Repository under .m2/repository is messed up, delete it so Maven can re-create it.

I solved the problem now after I update the "setting.xml"
