Have you tried adding some double-quotes around arguments? like: mvn.bat archetype:create "-DgroupId=com.mycompany.app" -DartifactId=my-app
I don't have a powershell to test, but as you can saw " Invalid task '.mycompany.app' " means that the argument line was split incorrectly Maybe it is the 'com' that mess, maybe it is the dot.
