creating new project in java with maven

Question

I wanna create a java project with maven, when I type this command in cmd instead of creating a project it gives some error, I guess it is because of some internet problems but I don't know how to solve it. I don't use any proxy and I've tried this command even when my pc's firewall was turned off. the command I write in cmd is:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.companyname.bank -DartifactId=consumerBanking -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

the rezult is:

You're posting this in 2014, but the log says:

If your local clock is wrong, SSL won't work because the certificate will appear to be invalid, and your connection to https://repo.maven.apache.org/ will fail.

Fix your clock.
