解决Maven创建项目失败

新建Maven项目时遇到这个错误：

Unable to create project from archetype [org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp:1.0]

Unable to add module to the current project as it is not of packaging type ‘pom’

解决：
Are you running the command from a directory that has an existing pom.xml file in it? I think that may be confusing Maven, as it thinks you’re trying to add your new project as a sub-module of the project in the working directory.

原来是因为我在Workspace下放了个POM文件，造成了M2eclipse插件的误解，删掉就OK了。
