In the main tutorial located here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html

The very first step fails:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
  -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
  -DartifactId=my-app


With this error message:


[INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode
[INFO] No archetype defined. Using maven-archetype-quickstart
(org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0)
Choose archetype:


Could someone either:

1. Explain why this doesn't work and how to fix it.

2. Fix the tutorial so that it does work.


It's disconcerting if the very first introductory docs for a project are broken.


Thanks,

Brendan Miller
