Answer 1

There may be a problem with Maven path configuration, if you used unix-like Operator System.

step 1: create new file in path ~/.bash_profile

JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home
CLASSPAHT=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:
export JAVA_HOME
export CLASSPATH
export PATH

step 2: shell run source ~/.bash_profile OR modify zsh config file(add new line: source ~/.bash_profile)

I edit my command by adding quotes for every parameter like this:

mvn install:install-file "-DgroupId=org.mozilla" "-DartifactId=jss" "-Dversion=4.2.5" "-Dpackaging=jar" "-Dfile=C:\Users\AArmijos\workspace\componentes-1.0.4\deps\jss-4.2.5.jar"

It's worked.

On windows as far as I'm concerned you have to enclose all parameters with quotes.

So if you want to create a maven webapp archetype you would do as follows:

Prerequisites:

1. Make sure you have maven installed and have it in your PATH environment variable.

Howto:

1. Open windows powershell
2. mkdir MyWebApp
3. cd MyWebApp
4. mvn archetype:generate "-DgroupId=com.javan.dev" "-DartifactId=MyWebApp" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp" "-DinteractiveMode=false"

Note: This is tested only on windows 10 powershell
