DavidDavid,
Can you switch to a new workspace and try creating a new Java Maven Project. Do you still get the same error?Creating a new workspace works. Any idea what was causing the problem using my existing workspace? Before I installed 6.5, I removed the .metadata directory from my workspace. Afterward, I imported my existing projects.
Thanks,
DavidDavid,
You dont have to delete the .metadata directory. That caused the issue I guess. Anyway, Im glad its working now.I ran into the same error message with MyEclipse 7.0 however when I looked into the Eclipse log I found that the error that eclipse gave me was somewhat misleading:
!MESSAGE Unable to create project from archetype [org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0-alpha-4 -> http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/%5D
!STACK 0
org.apache.maven.archetype.exception.ArchetypeGenerationFailure: Failed to generate project from the old archetype
…
Caused by: org.apache.maven.archetype.old.ArchetypeTemplateProcessingException: <artifact ID> already exists – please run from a clean directoryWhat I found was that the value I chose for my Artifact ID was the name of an existing project (I was converting an existing project into Maven’s format). I assume this occurred because Maven2Eclipse tries to link the project so it can use it for dependencies.
Hope this helps anyone else who has the same issue.
