Archetype Error When Creating Policies
If you attempt to run Archetype from a directory with existing files when you create a policy, you might encounter a “Directory already exists” error. The error might differ based on the Maven version installed in your environment.
The following code snippet shows an error generated for maven-archetype-plugin version 3.1.1:

Cause
This issue occurs because the directory in which Archetype is located already exists. The directory might have been created during a previous attempt to run Archetype.
Solution
To resolve this issue, delete the existing Archetype directory and run the command again.
