I made a Maven Archetype blog - grigorii.pechorin

I've been `working` with Maven recently and decided I'd try to make an archetype. It was not smooth sailing, until I used the archetype, archetype to see what it was supposed to look like ... then it was easier. It's just the second JMonkeyEngine tutorial. Tragically it's only available from a remote repository

archetypeGroupId=org.jmonkeyengine.archetypes
archetypeArtifactId=beginner02
archetypeVersion=3.0-NIGHTLY
remoteRepositories=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15094498/dropbox-mvn-public

I'm now wondering how useful archetypes actually are when someone is trying to develop a product. They're not too hard to create, but I'm not sure how many times I'm going to have to re-create the same project. I suppose if I want to distribute a mod kit they'd be very useful. It's just that the heading of "use before reuse" makes me feel a bit uneasy.
