basic project info

Hello Maven community!
 
I'm excited to test out a little bit of maven before I start really working with it, but I'm having a problem right at the start.
 
Following the instructions on the getting started page, I ran this:
 
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app
I can see the structures are all there after running but the next step fails.  Instead of compiling, I get an error:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Cannot execute mojo: resources. It requires a project, but the build is not using one.
What am I doing wrong?
