This new plugin seems to be a great improvement and I welcome the further
development.

However, i'm not sure if it was intended to be picked up by the whole maven user
population?

This is because: - There is no backwards compatability, suddenly maven no longer works as it used
to - The documentation on the new plugin has lots of broken links in it and is
unusable - The archetype guides on the main maven site are now all incorrect

Surely all this needed to be fixed before the whole community started using the
new plugin?

I understand that the plugins are alpha versions and can change, but to suddenly
make things alot worse wasn’t a great experience.

Apologies for moaning about an improvement to the tool!
