Running archetype to generate maven lambda is failing

Describe the bug

I’m running the following command to try to generate a lambda maven project. mvn "archetype:generate" "-DarchetypeGroupId=software.amazon.awssdk" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=archetype-lambda" "-DarchetypeVersion=2.11.4" "-DgroupId=com.amazon.test" "-DartifactId=test-project" "-Dservice=s3" "-Dregion=us-west-2" "-DinteractiveMode=false" -e

Expected Behavior

I think it should create the maven project successfully. Was following this page

Current Behavior

I got this error output:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.0:generate (default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Error merging velocity templates: Unable to find resource 'archetype-resources/global.vm' -> [Help 1]

Steps to Reproduce

Run mvn "archetype:generate" "-DarchetypeGroupId=software.amazon.awssdk" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=archetype-lambda" "-DarchetypeVersion=2.11.4" "-DgroupId=com.michael.test" "-DartifactId=test-project" "-Dservice=s3" "-Dregion=us-west-2" "-DinteractiveMode=false" -e in an empty directory

Possible Solution

Context

I’d like to use this archetype to generate lambda templates.

Hi @fjleon1980, we are aware of this issue. Could you try with the workaround?

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.1.0:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=software.amazon.awssdk \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=archetype-lambda \
  -DarchetypeVersion=2.14.3 \
  -DgroupId=com.test \
  -DartifactId=sample-project \
  -Dservice=s3 \
  -Dregion=US_WEST_2 \
  -DinteractiveMode=false
