How to create a struts 2 project using m2eclipse plugin using Eclipse Indigo?

Question

I usually create my projects with maven 2 using the command line. Im not quite sure how to do this using m2eclipse plugin in Eclipse Indigo with maven 3 on a Mac running OSX Lion. Im doing ok using this steps

1. File
2. New
3. Others
4. Maven
5. Maven Project

but cant find the struts 2 blank archetype from the Nexus Indexer.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of choosing the Nexus Indexer, select Configure... and then Add Remote Catalog... and enter this URL:

http://struts.apache.org/archetype-catalog.xml

Then select that catalog instead of the Nexus Indexer and you should see all of the struts2 archetypes.
