Hi there
My name is Shuaib Cader. I am relatively new to web development and was task to learn how to use Tapestry. I am following the tutorial that you have provided on the website but I am getting the following error when trying to a project using the maven archetype. I have use the archetype before and I had no problems. See the error highlighted in RED. Am I doing something incorrect? *C:\DEV\workspace>mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.tapestry -Da* *rchetypeArtifactId=quickstart -DgroupId=za.co.easypay -DartifactId=PMF -Dpackage* *Name=za.co.easypay.PMF* *[INFO] Scanning for projects...* *[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.* *[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------* *[INFO] Building Maven Default Project* *[INFO] task-segment: [archetype:create] (aggregator-style)* *[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------* *[INFO] Setting property: classpath.resource.loader.class => 'org.codehaus.plexus* *.velocity.ContextClassLoaderResourceLoader'.* *[INFO] Setting property: velocimacro.messages.on => 'false'.* *[INFO] Setting property: resource.loader => 'classpath'.* *[INFO] Setting property: resource.manager.logwhenfound => 'false'.* *[INFO] *************************************************************** *[INFO] Starting **Jakarta** Velocity v1.4* *[INFO] RuntimeInstance initializing.* *[INFO] Default Properties File: org\apache\velocity\runtime\defaults\ velocity.pr* *operties* *[INFO] Default ResourceManager initializing.
