The "official" aka released archetype is actually on 3.0.1 right now - you can see that on Maven Central. What you are getting in Eclipse seem to be only the development version. Note that the released versions will always come from Maven Central, while the development versions come from https://artifacts.alfresco.com (or https://nexus.alfresco.com - one of these is just an alias/CNAME). The difference between Eclipse and shell seems to be the configuration of Maven itself. In Eclipse you might have explicitely set the Alfresco Nexus as the source for archetypes, while the shell will by default include Maven Central in the lookup (unless you have overriden that via command line arguments).

Thanks ‌, then the last question -- since I'm new on Maven: What is the archetype catalog address of Maven Central for alfresco? hence I can force to use this on Eclipse.

Sorry, not careful with the current list on Eclipse.

The "Maven Central" is already in the archetype catalog drop-down list with following URL

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml

Then I can choose the Maven Central as the provider of latest jar.

Thank you,
