Dear All friends

I'm really newbie in Eclipse and Neo4j, I'm so sorry if my question is
so easy. I want to create a neo4j project via Eclipse and Maven. After
installation of Eclipse I go to
Help -> Install New Software
choose Maven Integrate for Eclipse

after restart eclipse I go to

File -> New -> Other Project and choose Maven Project , in "Select an
ArcheType" I click to " Add ArcheType" and fill them by following
values

ArcheType Group Id : org.neo4j
Archetype Artifact Id : neo4j-community
ArcheType Version : 1.6
Repository URL : http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-community/1.6

after click on "OK" button, It added to the list and I selected it and
clicked on "Next" button. I next form I fill Artifact Id by
MyNeo4jProject and click on Finish button, when I clicked on finished
button I see the following error:

Unable to create project from archetype [org.neo4j:neo4j-community:1.6
-> http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-community/1.6]
The defined artifact is not an archetype.

I really do not know what is my problem. please advice me.

Hi there,
I think you should not create a new archifact type, but a new maven
project, pointing out the Neo4j pom as one dependency?

Cheers,

I'd suggest setting the JDK version to 1.6 as well, using something like
this in the build section of the pom.xml:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
