When you try to create a project from an archetype existing only in the local repository, 
ArchetypeArtifactManager.isFileSetArchetype(...) always returns false, due to un underlying artifact resolution exception :

Since the archetype is not resolved, The Properties table from MavenProjectWizardArchetypeParametersPage is not populated with the archetype required properties.
Ultimately, project creation fails because of these missing required properties.

Note that, sometimes, the properties table get filled up, after creating a few projects, while switching archetypes. It seems it's caused by the call to setArchetype() (if archetype has changed, properties table is re-populated)  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unzip and install the attached archetype (someproject-archetype)
2. in m2e, create a new maven project
3. choose someproject-archetype in the default local catalog (use snapshots)
4. click next
5. Assert the property "name" having the value "my project" is displayed <- fails
