I am installing maven 2.0.1 on Linux red hat running on a sun machine with java 
1.4.2 installed and configured.

My JAVA_HOME environment is set correctly and the maven install directory added 
to my PATH variable

When I do mvn --version it gives me

Maven version: 2.0.1

Which looks fine.

However when I then try to run

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=3D3Dcom.mycompany.app = -DartifactId=3D3Dmy-app 
To create myself a project I get this
