Why is Eclipse Maven Archetype plugin not showing my locally installed Maven archetype?

I installed the Maven archetype java8-junit5-archetype locally, but when I try to create a new Maven project in Eclipse, the Maven Archetype plugin doesn't list it.

I manually added the entry to the local catalog file ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml as such:

<archetype>
      <groupId>com.tbp</groupId>
      <artifactId>java8-junit5-archetype</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <repository></repository>
</archetype>

But In Eclipse, I don't see java8-junit5-archetype listed. enter image description here

Root Cause It turns out the reason why the java8-junit5-archetype wasn't listed, is because its version is 1.0-SNAPSHOT. That makes it a snapshot archetype.

Solution Check the Include snapshot archetypes checkbox. Now the archetype is listed. enter image description here
