Bizarre. It appears that it works in CMD.EXE fine, but fails in
Powershell (which is my shell of choice). I have absolutely no idea
why this might be the case.
(A few minutes later, after some googling...) It appears that the "="
sign in the mvn command is treated specially by Powershell, and needs
to be quoted when used in a mvn command. I've never encountered this
before, and I suspect it's not *quite* that simple and somehow relates
to the interaction of Powershell and the mvn command being a bat file.
Nevertheless, quoting the -D parameters works in Powershell:
mvn archetype:generate
"-DarchetypeArtifactId=xwiki-commons-component-archetype"
"-DarchetypeGroupId=org.xwiki.commons" "-DarchetypeVersion=4.0"
"-DgroupId=com.acme" "-DartifactId=example"
"-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT"

After some googling, seems that archetype plugin
likes to throw this
error in some occasions completely unrelated to what the error message
says ...
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
:-)
