For simple projects, archetype:generate seemed too heavy for me, but creating the standard Maven file structure by hand is such a chore. So I created this simple script to ease the pain: 
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 4 ]; then
    echo "Usage $0 <projectName> <groupId> <artifactId> <rootPackageName>"
    exit 1
fi

projectName=$1
groupId=$2
artifactId=$3
rootPackageName=`echo $4 | tr . /`
mkdir -p src/main/java/$rootPackageName
mkdir src/main/resources
mkdir -p src/test/java/$rootPackageName
cat >pom.xml <<EOF
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>$groupId</groupId>
    <artifactId>$artifactId</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>$projectName</name>

    <build>
         <!-- Name the final artifact -->
         <finalName>\${project.artifactId}</finalName>
    </build>

    <dependencies>
    </dependencies>
</project>
EOF


Example usage: 
./initmvn.sh myProject theGroupId theArtifactId com.example.mainpack
