Let’s create a Maven project from Archetype from within the NetBeans IDE.
Maven tool provides project templates that can be created with Maven’s Archetype Plugin.

Steps

Launch NetBeans IDE.
Click on File >> New Project….
On the next screen, select the option Maven category and the option Project from Archetype from projects.


Click on the Next > button.

You can either select an archetype from the known archetypes or search for one in the search field.

Let’s create a simple maven-archetype-quickstart project. Feel free to create other type of projects depending on the project you are going to work on. For instance, you may want to create automation project using TestNG project.  You can search for testng archetype. 

Once you have chosen the project type, click on Next > button.

In the next screen, enter project details like project name,project location, group id, version etc.

Click on the Finish button to create the maven project.
