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 had a similar error and tried using double quotes to wrap all -D and it worked for me..

Example:

mvn archetype:create "-DarchetypeGroupId=org.springframework.ws" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=spring-ws-archetype" "-DarchetypeVersion=2.1.4.RELEASE" "-DgroupId=com.mycompany.hr" "-DartifactId=holidayService"
