In Eclipse with m2eclipse installed, when I choose

File > New > Project... > Maven > Maven Project

with

Use default Workspace location

and

Catalog: Nexus Indexer

selected, the following error message is showing up:

No archetypes currently available. The archetype list will refresh when the indexes finish updating.

Why does this error occur?
