The archetypes supplied by Maven are all named maven-archetype-xxx. Other projects are beginning to supply their own, and they either use projectname-archetype-description, or maven-archetype-projectname-description.
IMO the former is more "correct" -- I consider the 'maven-archetype' prefix to mean 'An archetype distributed by Maven-the-project'. (Not 'an archetype meant to be used with Maven-the-build-tool', since they all are.) For example, I have struts-archetype-blank and struts2-archetype-starter. Since conventions are so important to Maven, it would be nice for the guide to creating archetypes [1] to offer some advice on naming. Is there a particular naming convention you would like to promote for archetypes?
