The recommended approach for FIS users to create a new project is to use the following command:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeCatalog=https://repo.fusesource.com/nexus/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml \
  -Dfilter=io.fabric8.archetypes:

The problem here is that the io.fabric8.archetypes groupId includes v1 and v2 archetypes. Since the generate goal does no accept a version filter, the user ends up with 58 possible archetypes and only 11 of them are valid for FIS.

We need a unique groupId or archetype catalog that allows the user to select only FIS archetypes.
