For windows 10 and 11 also, the maven version 3+

we need to add the "double quotes" means the link u r pasting have "com.mycompany.app" may be because of parsing or compiler it couldn't able to get without quotes

and also make sure that u have edit the enviroment path perfectly to run mvn

thanks to others stack overflow contributor as well as chatgpt couldn't able to revolve at that time now may be it will.

I faced the same issue, and I resolved by run the commond(MVN Clean) from inside the folder where pom.xml located. Please follow below steps:

  1. Open Eclipse
  2. Open your Maven project.
  3. Right Click on pom.xml
  4. Click on properties 5.Copy pom.xml location URL
  5. Open cmd
  6. Write and paste the pom.xml location in the cmd until before /pom.xml as below, cd C:\Users\X\eclipse-workspace\Your project Name
  7. Hit Enter.
  8. Run mvn clean commond again.

Try this :

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

Your sentences have been modified -DgroupId="com.mycompany.app". You need to use double quotes.

I´ve worked on windows 8 and it works. I don´t know if it happens on Linux.

You will note that the original error said

Directory my-app already exists - please run from a clean directory

Did you possibly run that command from a directory where there is already a Maven project (one with a pom.xml file)? If so please start with a clean location.

When I ran the command you used verbatim on an empty directory, it ran without error and created a directory called my-app.

This line is of concern:

[INFO] Using following parameters for creating project from Old (1.x) Archetype: maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0

Looking at the maven docs page at http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-bundles/maven-archetype-quickstart/, i see that the command you should be using is:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=5-SNAPSHOT

Which is not exactly what you are running (you are missing the -DarchetypeVersion=5-SNAPSHOT part).
