Maven

Hi,

I'm trying to create a maven project via command prompt by following steps as mentioned below -


1) Created a new folder as TestMaven,
2) cd to TestMaven folder
3) Execute command "mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \ -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \ -DartifactId=my-app".

I am getting below Build Failure logs-

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
