Hi.

I'm a complete newbie with GeoTools but I'm hoping to use it for a
university project. So please bear with me...

I'm having trouble with the Quickstart guide trying to create the example
project.

When I run the command
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=org.geotools.demo -DartifactId=example

it does indeed wirr and click but ultimately I get a BUILD ERROR:

So then, as the warning suggested, I tried: 
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=org.geotools.demo -DartifactId=example
I chose option 15 (maven-archetype-quickstart), but still got a build
failure:

Could anyone please help me with this so that I can get going with the
tutorial? It's depressing to fail at the first hurdle!

Cheers.
