You open the wizard by opening the New Project wizard and selecting
Project from Archetype from the Maven category.
In the Maven Archetype page of the wizard you select an archetype
to use as the template for your project from the Known Archetypes list.
By default, only the most recent version of each known archetype is displayed in the list.
You can select the Show Older checkbox if you want older versions of archetypes to be included in the list.
You can type a term in the Search field to locate archetypes that contain the search term in
the archetype name, group ID, version, artifact ID, repository or description fields.
The Maven Archetype page of the wizard contains the following fields.
- Search. Type a search term in the text field to limit the list of archetypes
to the archetypes that contain the term.
- Show Older. When selected, older versions of archetypes are also included in the list.
By default the list only contains the most recent version of the archetype.
