this is the command I am using to create the maven project  
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=com.excilys.ebi.gatling.highcharts -DarchetypeArtifactId=gatling-charts-highcharts -DarchetypeVersion=1.1.0 -DgroupId=com.excilys.ebi.gatling.highcharts -DartifactId=gatling-maven-plugin

Sorry, wrong link: [https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Ide-integration](https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Ide-integration)

First, don’t use 1.1.0, please!!! Use at least 1.5.

Then, Gatling archetype is not hosted on maven central. If you want to generate the project from the command line instead of m2e as described in our documentation, you still have to declare the remote archetype catalog:

- [https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Ide-integration#wiki-archetype](https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Ide-integration#wiki-archetype)
- [http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/examples/generate-alternative-catalog.html](http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/examples/generate-alternative-catalog.html)

So, you have to add -DarchetypeCatalog=[http://repository.excilys.com/content/groups/public](http://repository.excilys.com/content/groups/public)
