Creating Maven multi-module project with Eclipse

I want to create a maven Multi-module project. I want to create the Parent project using

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.websystique.multimodule -DartifactId=parent-project

Did you read the error message?

[ERROR] Could not find goal 'create' in plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.0.1 among available goals crawl, create-from-project, generate, help, integration-test, jar, update-local-catalog -> [Help 1]

The error message tells you that the goal you've specified for the plugin (create) isn't one of the available options. It also lists the valid options for you:

  • crawl
  • create-from-project
  • generate
  • help
  • integration-test
  • jar
  • update-local-catalog

The goal you're looking for is generate. For example:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.websystique.multimodule -DartifactId=parent-project

For more info: maven-archetype-plugin.
