在使用maven3.3.1版本和3.2.5版本时，参照《Maven权威指南》beta0.2版本第3.2节以下代码：
$ mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=org.sonatype.mavenbook.ch03 -DartifactId=simple -DpackageName=org.sonatype.mavenbook
的时候报错，报错内容如下
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

在stackoverflow找到解决方式如下
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=org.sonatype.mavenbook.ch03 -DartifactId=simple -DpackageName=org.sonatype.mavenbook -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
修改start命令为generate
参考网址为http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29147329/unable-to-create-a-new-maven-hello-world-project
原因分析：create is deprecated in maven 3.0.5 and beyond，在maven3.0.5以上版本舍弃了create，今后使用generate生成项目
