Maven in 5 Minutes issue

Question

I\'m following Maven in 5 Minutes manual with the following:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-a         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem, and it looks like we have the similar setup

• Windows 7
• Powershell
• HTTP proxy

here is what I have to do:

1. Wrap all the "-D..." inside double quotes, e.g.

   mvn archetype:generate "-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart" "-DgroupId=com.mycompany.app" "-DartifactId=my-app"
   

2. Make sure you have "HTTP_PROXY" set properly in your envrironment variables (check it by typing "echo $Env:HTTP_PROXY")
