Currently, there apparently is no maven-google-archetype, or I can't find one.  Instead CodeHaus has this message page instead.

http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/user-guide/archetype.html

Fine so I ran the posted command:

 mvn archetype:generate \
   -DarchetypeRepository=repo1.maven.org \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=gwt-maven-plugin \
   -DarchetypeVersion=2.4.0

And I get a project in Eclipse, there are several problems.
1.  Eclipse does not know about the "generated-code" as a source directory.  Upon running Run as | mvn install it generates classes.  But I can not see the classes directory no matter how many times I do a refresh in package explorer, and apparently Eclipse can't see it either.  It gets:
 
GreetingServiceAsync cannot be resolved to a type
Messages cannot be resolved to a type
Missing asynchronous interface GreetingServiceAsync
The method create(Class<?>) from the type GWT refers to the missing type GreetingServiceAsync
The method create(Class<?>) from the type GWT refers to the missing type Messages

2. Eclipse lists some errors on the generated pom itself (but they don't stop it from running an install):


Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:exploded (execution: default, phase: compile)
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.4.0:generateAsync (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.4.0:i18n (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)


3.  Execution during the maven install comes up with a blank page: HTML page is loaded, but the display is empty, instead of the Greeting service. 

http://192.168.202.1:52462/mvngwtbase.mvngwtprojJUnit.JUnit/junit-standards.html?gwt.codesvr=192.168.202.1:52458

The maven install appears to proceed normally, however.

The pom errors flag the "execution" line in:

     <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>exploded</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
          <webappDirectory>${webappDirectory}</webappDirectory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

And:
     <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>exploded</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
