今天用以下面maven命令创建项目时
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.laoshuisheng.web -DartifactId=test-web -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -Dversion=1.0
报了以下的一个错误：
D:\java\work\workspace>mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.laoshuisheng.web -DartifactId=test-web -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -Dversion=1.0

解决方案：
导致项目创建失败，原因是因为没有本地仓库没有maven-archetype-plugin.jar包导致。
后来我把本地maven资源库中的/org/apache/maven/plugins/目录下的maven-archetype-plugin删除后，然后再重试上面命令，问题得以解决。
