 Maybe you could also check :
 - there is no backslash "\" in your command-line 
Other than the path to the "mvn" command, and paths in environment
variables like JAVA_HOME, no, there are no backslashes (see the
original mail in this thread).
  - try adding more command-line options (specify
-DgroupId , -Dversion,
 -DartifactId and so on to specify the coordinates of the  project to
 create) 
I'll see what I can do, but I have basically zero knowledge of Maven,
so apologies in advance if any wild guesses I try just confuse things
:-)
