Creating Maven multi-module project with Eclipse
eclipse, maven
Solution
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`.
