Generate project in batch mode

   It is possible to get rid of the interactivity of the Maven Archetype Plugin
   by setting the <<<interactive>>> property to <<<false>>> or by using the -B
   flag.
   A couple of meaningful properties are then required:
   
   * The archetypeGroupId, archetypeArtifactId and archetypeVersion defines the 
   archetype to use for project generation.

   * The groupId, artifactId, version and package are the main properties to be 
   set. Each archetype require these properties. Some archetypes define other 
   properties; refer to the appropriate archetype's documentation if needed.
