I want to build a simple project using a existing archetype. But I can’t run mvn archetype:generate as it keeps telling me the following information

[ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'archetype' in the current project and in the
 plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the
repositories [local (C:\Documents and Settings\ccen\.m2\repository), central (ht
tp://repo1.maven.org/maven2)] -> [Help 1]

I was using MS Windows and didn’t use any settings.xml in my ~/.m2 folder and all stuff is brand new. Could any one help me to figure it out?

    The other thing that could be going wrong is that your machine is behind a firewall or proxy so your box is not able to hit http://repo1.maven.org/maven2. Try accessing this URL directly in a browser or something to test if you are able to make the request.
