Hi

When trying to create a new plugin I get the following error.

[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] : org.apache.maven.archetype.old.ArchetypeTemplateProcessingException: Unable to add module to the current project as it is not of packaging type 'pom'

I have tried with maven 2.2 and 3 but its the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok I fixed this by doing the obvious:

    I changed the packaging type of the POM

    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    It might be a good idea to change it on the repository unless theres a good reason why it was set to jar.

    The same issue is occurring in v4.
