No archetypes currently available. The archetype list will refresh when the indexes finish updating

m2eclipse, maven, nexus

Solution

I had same problem and it was solved by adding a remote catalog: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml

This solution i found at : http://jira.talendforge.org/secure/attachment/36787/DeveloperGuide-Feedback.pdf

Problem

In Eclipse with m2eclipse installed, when I choose File > New > Project... > Maven > Maven Project with Use default Workspace location and Catalog: Nexus Indexer selected, the following error message is showing up: No archetypes currently available. The archetype list will refresh when the indexes finish updating. Why does this error occur?
