 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:create (default-cli)  on project standalone-pom: Unable to parse configuration of 3:  mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:create for parameter #: Cannot create instance of interface org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository -> [Help 1]  [ERROR]  [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. [ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging. [ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginConfigurationException

操作：

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=me.slp -DartifactId=system-domain -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

解决办法：

1 mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=me.slp -DartifactId=system-domain -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

maven在3.0.5及以上就建议采用genrate命令了，建议大家尽量采用genrate代替create命令。
