解决：mvn archetype:create Abstract class or interface 'org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository' cannot be instantiated

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2
.3:create (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Unable to parse configuration
 of mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.3:create for paramete
r #: Abstract class or interface 'org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactR
epository' cannot be instantiated -> [Help 1]

　　

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

CMD创建工程的时候还卡在Generating project in Interactive mode不动了 
解决方法是加个参数 -DarchetypeCatalog=internal 让它不要从远程服务器上取catalog

出现要输入选择项 一路回车就好了。
