---------------------------------

             Summary: 30 min guide first command doesn't work in commandline windows
                 Key: MNG-6796
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6796
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: windows command line
            Reporter: Roman Korver


I tried to walk through the 30 min guide:

[https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html]

And stumbled on an issue after entering the first ":generate" command 
 # mvn -B archetype:generate \
 # -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
 # -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
 # -DartifactId=my-app

I entered it (without the numbers of course), in the windows command line.

C:\Users\rkorver\Documents\GitHub\maven-practice>mvn -B archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeGroupID=org.apache.maven.archetypes \ -DgroupID=com.mycompany.app \ -DartifactId=my-app

(this ^ link is not helpful in this case) 

 
 * This command, in the 5 min guide works fine however! 

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4 -DinteractiveMode=false

 

A hint I found in one of my tries: 

[WARNING] Property groupId is missing. Add -DgroupId=someValue
{color:#FF0000}[WARNING] Property package is missing. Add -Dpackage=someValue{color}

{color:#172b4d}could that last one be the real issue?{color}

{color:#172b4d}*As a* beginner user of Maven, {color}

*Want* the beginner guide fixed

*So* other beginner Maven users aren't unnecessarily frustrated.
