According to

 I used the following comand:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DarchetypeRepository=https://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases -DarchetypeVersion=8.0.0.rc1 Maven failed and the end of the output reads

[/code]Is there currently a general problem with the archetype?

What maven version do you have?

3.3.9

Works for me. Try again, maybe?

I think it is the same problem reported in https://vaadin.com/forum#!/thread/15182890

It seems that starting from 7.7.4 the parent of the archetype has been changed from vaadin-parent to vaadin-archetypes, but the latter is not deployed on maven central

Edit:
vaadin-archetypes is missing also in vaadin prereleases repository

I can confirm this. We are going to release 8.0.0.rc2 today to fix this.

Actually, this issue was caused by the maven-archetype-plugin 3.0.0 update, released last week. It seems to require the parent of the archetype to be deployed.

For 7.7.4-7.7.7 we have fixed this for archetype plugin version 3.0.0 by deploying
vaadin-archetypes
 to maven central.

For 8.0.0.rc1 and 8.0.0.rc2 it is not working with archetype plugin version 3.0.0 because it is ignoring the -DartifactRepository parameter. You can get around that by using previous version of archetype plugin, with e.g.

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate -DarchetypeVersion=8.0.0.rc1 -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application -DgroupId=on.se -DartifactId=vaikeaa -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=http://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-prereleases
