In the plugin, there is code used that is dependent on a certain maven release. Up until this version of the plugins we decided to convert the version tobe compatible with 3.0.5 as refactoring the code would have a huge impact.
At a later stage, we can see how we will make this more version independent.
This is alluding to the dependency of the new plug-ins on maven 3.0.5. This error shows in case you are building the artifacts using Maven 2.2.1
details reveal Can't rename <project> when creating a new Maven project from an Archetype, with Use Default workspace location set to true.
This error is caused by a bug in the M2Eclipse plugin prior to the release version 0.9.9.
In fact, the project was correctly created and is located in the workspace directory. It can be materialised in Eclipse by selecting File -> Import -> General -> Existing projects into workspace and specifying the ${artifactId} directory created under the current workspace directory.
A possible workaround to prevent this happening in the first place is to uncheck the option Use Default workspace location and manually specify a location for the project. This indeed appears to work correctly, even when the selected location is under the current workspace directory.
