Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-3809:
----------------------------------------
Hm, the archetype command line is working for me. Both the archetype and the
cleaning seem to fail for you due to errors with the artifact download from
central. Assuming Maven can access central just like you, the only other idea I
have right now is that Maven fails to successfully save the remote files in
your local repo. So, where exactly is your local repository for Maven 2 set? Is
this location writable? It might also be worth a try to completely delete your
local repo, just to make sure it hasn't reached a state from which Maven cannot
recover.
