Description

mvn archetype:generate
Select "18". (maven-archetype-webapp)

Tail end of the output is:
...
Choose a number: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23/24/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/33/34/35/36/37/38/39/40/41) 15: : 18

Note the "RELEASE" in the archetype it is looking for. If I explicitly specify the archetype version with:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=1.0

it works fine.

seems to work nowadays, both with maven-archetype-plugin 2.0-alpha-4 and alpha-5
please reopen if you can reproduce the issue
