A SpringMVC Maven arachetype is defined here. Run the following command to use it:

mvn archetype:generate \
    -DarchetypeGroupId=pl.codeleak \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=spring-mvc-quickstart \
    -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.1 \
    -DgroupId=my.groupid \
    -DartifactId=my-artifactId \
    -Dversion=version \
    -DarchetypeRepository=http://kolorobot.github.io/spring-mvc-quickstart-archetype

However I get the following error:

The problem is that Maven cannot find the “pl.codeleak:spring-mvc-quickstart:jar:1.0.1” artifact. Add the following content in the “~/.m2/settings.xml” file to fix the issue:

~/.m2/settings.xml

Run the Maven command again and this time it works.
