Just downloaded 7.1.1. It actually installed!!!!!

I tried to create a simple Java Maven Project and received the following:

Unable to create project from archetype [org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0-alpha-4 -> http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/%5D
The desired archetype does not exist (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0-alpha-4)

Did you setup MyEclipse using the All in One installer? Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

If you noticed, in a clean install of MyEclipse, when you go create a project with Maven capabilities there is a ton of activity that fires off in the background in the console view. All that activity is Maven initializing it’s local repository, if Maven cannot get online, all that fails and the Java archetype for that project cannot be created.
Do you have a limited network connectivity environment (either offline or with a proxy) ? That could be the issue

I have the same problem using the MyEclipse 7.1.1 Manual Updates. To work around this, I had to create a regular Java project and then modify the .project file to make it work.
