[FIXED] How can I generate a parent POM file using Maven?

Issue

I'm trying to build a Multi-Module Project with Maven. I'm stuck in the first step 6.1 of the post.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.baeldung -DartifactId=parent-project

Am I missing anything?

Solution

I have finally realized that my PowerShell environment will interpret into the wrong command. So the correct command in PowerShell should be:

mvn archetype:generate '-DgroupId=com.baeldung' '-DartifactId=parent-project'

If I put the original command in a Command Prompt, it will not produce any error.
