Looks like you missed this section: Build the Project
mvn package The command line will print out various actions, and end with the following: ... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 2 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Thu Oct 05 21:16:04 CDT 2006 [INFO] Final Memory: 3M/6M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unlike the first command executed (archetype:create ) you may notice the second is simply a single word - package . Rather than a goal, this is a phase . A phase is a step in the build lifecycle , which is an ordered sequence of phases. When a phase is given, Maven will execute every phase in the sequence up to and including the one defined. For example, if we execute the compile phase, the phases that actually get executed are: 1. validate 2. generate-sources 3. process-sources 4. generate-resources 5. process-resources 6. compile -----Original Message----- From: Russell Bateman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 10:45 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: QuickStart example just doesn't work Am I just broken? Nothing could be easier to download and set up, but walking the QuickStart (http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.ht ml), I find the example simply doesn't work.

This problem would not happen in Eclipse as long as the code is there, but as it's Maven that's going to do the build eventually, it won't work. Or, maybe JDK 6 is broken for Maven's use.
