Description

**[Bozhidar Bozhanov](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=glamdring)** opened **[ARCHETYPE-451](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-451?redirect=false)** and commented

The guide for creating an archetype does not work. The archetype.xml does not seem to be respected.

Using :create-from-project generates a completely different file (archetype-metadata.xml), which is not present in the guide: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html

Research direction

Start with the guide at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html and compare its archetype.xml instructions with the :create-from-project behavior described in the issue. Confirm how archetype-metadata.xml is generated and update the guide so its instructions match the current output and workflow.
