maven add extra archetype

When I used Eclipse + m2e plugin to create a new maven project, I found that there were too few archetypes. I searched online for how to add additional archetypes.

http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/specification/archetype-catalog.html

The Archetype Plugin knows by default about its internal catalog. It also knows about the local and remote catalogs.

local represents the ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml catalog file.

remote represents the http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ archetype-catalog.xml catalog file.

The Archetype Plugin can also read catalogs from filesystem/HTTP by providing the path/URL of a catalog file or of a directory containing an archetype-catalog.xml file.

The archetype-catalog can be downloaded from the above URL .xml is saved as ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml

and then create a new maven project. It is found that there are many archetypes in Catalog as Default Local.
