archetype:generate fails to execute goal

[B_Stockwell]

I'm following these instructions on Creating your first AEM Service using an Adobe Maven Archetype project

When I reach the mvn command to generate the archetype: 

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.day.jcr.vault -DarchetypeArtifactId=multimodule-content-package-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0 -DarchetypeRepository=adobe-public-releases -e

I get the following error

This works well. Make sure that you have successfully setup maven and you use these commands:

The result will be:

    Inthe article, there is a sample xml file you can place in the .m2 dir. Your issue seems to suggest the xml file is not present. This is where adobe repo is specified.

This was a java related issue. I had to upgrade to Java 8.

When I run mvn --version I get this output.

Apache Maven 3.2.5 (12a6b3acb947671f09b81f49094c53f426d8cea1; 2014-12-14T12:29:23-05:00) Maven home: /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.5 Java version: 1.6.0_65, vendor: Apple Inc.

Doing some research, it's suggested this is a proxy issue, however I've tried it behind multiple network connection with no dice.

For what it's worth, a repository is successful created at /{user}/.m2/repository, though I can't confirm (because I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for) whether specific packages related to this issue are there.
