Obviously, maven wasn’t able to download the pom file, which is XML, and received an HTML page instead, which seems to be the landing page of “http://search.maven.org/”.
Could be a maven central temporary issue. The archtype is definitively on maven central: http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cio.gatling.highcharts%7Cgatling-highcharts-maven-archetype%7C2.3.0%7Cmaven-archetype
