I am wonder how maven know which archetype is used for specified pom.xml

These are two different Questions:
The archetype plugin is usually used interactively. You just call
mvn archetype:create, and the wizard walks you through the different steps. There’s nothing you need to configure in a pom. In fact it would be silly to put archetype information in an existing project, as archetypes are for creating new projects.The main difference is that webapp contains a folder src/main/webapp which contains your static web resources and the WEB-INF folder. Also, the packaging is set to
war. Somaven-archetype-quickstartis the default for creating a simple jar project, whilemaven-archetype-webappis the default for creating a simple war project.
