What can be the problem ?

+3  A: 

The Maven central repository is very likely missing some artifacts. Use this instead:

mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse \
                     -DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-modular-struts \
                     -DremoteRepositories=http://static.appfuse.org/repository \
                     -DarchetypeVersion=2.0-m5 \
                     -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
                     -DartifactId=myproject
