-------------------------------------

> I tried to walk through the 30 min guide:

> # mvn -B archetype:generate \
> # -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
> # -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
> # -DartifactId=my-app
> I entered it (without the numbers of course), in the windows command line.
> C:\Users\rkorver\Documents\GitHub\maven-practice>mvn -B archetype:generate \
> -DarchetypeGroupID=org.apache.maven.archetypes \ -DgroupID=com.mycompany.app
