Following "How do I make my first Maven project?" doesn't work --------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2408 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2408 Project: Maven 2 Type: Bug Components: Documentation: Guides Versions: 2.0.4 Reporter: Graham Leggett If you follow the instructions at http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How%20do%20I%20make%20my%20first%20Maven%20project? to use the archetype plugin to create a new project skeleton, the suggested command line fails as below. It seems there is a typo of some kind in the suggested command line, I am not familiar enough with maven 2 to know for sure.
