Hi I tried to follow the Maven getting started guide, and ran into problems when first trying to compile the generated project. I generated the project with: > mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes > -DgroupId=com.testing -DartifactId=maven-intro
using the defaults. mvn compile gives me this error: org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project maven-intro: Compilation failure /.../maven-intro/src/main/java/com/testing/App.java:[1,13] ';' expected I run Mac OS X 10.7.5. > env JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home LANG=de_CH.UTF-8 > java -version java version "1.6.0_43" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode) I guess it's an encoding problem. But how to quickly make it right? Thanks! Simon
