[FIXED] Build Failure error in Netbeans maven plugins

Issue

I am using netbeans for creating my first RESTful API, Java with JSON to write a code. I tried to create the project but it gives this error.

A build failure error is encountered. It says :

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.3:generate (default-cli) 
    on project standalone-pom: Archetype io.dropwizard.archetypes:java-simple:0.8.1-rc3-SNAPSHOT is not configured
    Property name is missing.

More detailed is listed on this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/N1KtGypW

I tried to follow help topic Project properties: Maven Project to troubleshoot the issue, but were unable to fix it.

Please suggest measures to fix this issue.

Solution

Looking at the build output:

cd /home/aruns/NetBeansProjects; JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle /home/aruns/netbeans-8.0.2/java/maven/bin/mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=io.dropwizard.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=java-simple -DarchetypeVersion=0.8.1-rc3-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots -DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=MyDropwizRESTfulProject -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=com.mycompany.mydropwizrestfulproject -Dbasedir=/home/aruns/NetBeansProjects -Dshaded=true -Dname= -Ddescription=null -Darchetype.interactive=false --batch-mode --update-snapshots archetype:generate

The option -Dname property is not set (in bold above) and it is this option I think Maven is complaining about.

I assume you created the project from the Netbeans 'Create From Archetype' and you used 'io.dropwizard.archetypes'. The window that comes up there is a table with 'Additional Creation Properties'. You need to specify the name in this I think.
