   The general form is:

   mvn archetype:generate
   -DgroupId=[yourPackagingId]
   -DartifactId=[yourProjectName]
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-portlet
   

   And so for Example:

   mvn archetype:generate
   -DgroupId=com.tutorialforlinux
   -DartifactId=myPortletPro
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-portlet
   

   This should then create a Maven Project Structure like:

   .
   |-- src
   |  `-- main
   |    `-- java
   |      |-- [your project's package] 
   |      |  `-- MyPortal.java
   |      |-- jetspeed
   |      |  `-- web.xml
   |      |-- resources
   |      |-- webapp
   |      |  |-- WEB-INF
   |      |  |  |-- tld
   |      |  |  |  `-- portlet.tld
   |      |  |  |-- portlet.xml
   |            |  |  `-- web.xml
   |      |  |-- help.jsp
   |      |  |-- maximized.jsp
   |      |  `-- normal.jsp
