Have you tried the command line, i.e. creating the project using a Maven archetype? $ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId={project-packaging} -DartifactId={project-name} -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false Regards John On 7 March 2018 at 17:50, Greenberg, Gary <ggree...@visa.com<mailto:ggree...@visa.com>> wrote: I am trying to create new Maven Web project.
