无法使用Playn Eclipse和Maven从原型创建项目

Question

This is pretty frustrating. I followed the GettingStarted instructions on the PlayN page and everything works fine from the command line but I keep getting errors when trying to create a skeleton PlayN maven project in eclipse. I'm running this on a Mac OS X and eclipse 4.2.0 classic.

Unable to create project from archetype [com.googlecode.playn:playn-archetype:1.3.1]

Under details it says: The defined artifact is not an archetype

Answer 1

I have come up with a working solution, albeit less pretty. Essentially, if you create a new project with Maven (not Eclipse), then import it in, you won't see this error. See this question's answers for more information.

Answer 2

I found a way better solution that actually works. I dumped eclipse and followed this tutorial for netbeans http://www.gamefromscratch.com/post/2012/05/24/Using-Netbeans-712-with-PlayN-13.aspx
