Description

Following the steps in the developer guide, I tried to generate the "blank" sample app using the archetype catalog, but I receive an error when choosing any of the options.

For example, when I run the following command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://struts.apache.org/

I get a list of archetypes, as expected.

Choose archetype:
1: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-blank (Struts 2 Archetypes - Blank)
2: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-convention (Struts 2 Archetypes - Blank Convention)
3: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-dbportlet (Struts 2 Archetypes - Database Portlet)
4: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-plugin (Struts 2 Archetypes - Plugin)
5: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-portlet (Struts 2 Archetypes - Portlet)
6: http://struts.apache.org/ -> org.apache.struts:struts2-archetype-starter (Struts 2 Archetypes - Starter)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): :

However, when choosing any of the options (e.g. the "blank" webapp), I get the following response:

The archtype:generate goal does work when I specify v2.5.1 instead.
