There are many different Maven Archetypes but we need maven-archetype-quickstart archetype for our simple project creation. Run command mvn archetype:generate In command prompt. It will download Maven Archetype plugin and get the list of different archetypes as bellow. 

If you are running this command first time then It can take 2 to 5 minutes to Install Maven Archetype plugin and list all maven archetypes. It will do It automatically.
