 Also, from discussion with some of my colleagues, we got to the realization that none of us actually use project generation through Maven and that we do things by hand. The only thing we agreed upon is that specific project structure generation is useful when somebody else tells you which //archetypeArtifactId// to use. Also, from discussion with some of my colleagues, we got to the realization that none of us actually use project generation through Maven and that we do things by hand.

-Although it is very good idea to provide templating capabilities to Maven, it failed to restrict which templates are in core Maven installation - which lead to 1641 templates (in the time of writing). Solution to this may be pretty simple: Maven, as we see later, allows you to configure additional repositories for JAR libraries. It shouldn't be hard to extend this also on internal Maven components like project templates and with core Maven provide only, say, JAR and J2EE thingies (WAR/EAR packagings and such), leaving third-party projects to be explicitly allowed through JAR library with template or standalone repository.+Although it is very good idea to provide templating capabilities to Maven, it failed to restrict which templates are in core Maven installation - which lead to 1641 templates (at the time of writing).
