I wrote in earlier about a problem I had in less-old releases of Wicket 1.2. Since no more work is being done on that version, I thought I'd try the sample on Wicket 1.2. I figured the easiest approach was to download the Wicket 1.3 QuickStart application. That requires Maven, which I've never before used. I downloaded and installed Maven (I assume correctly) and then followed the instructions to get the QuckStart application, but the Maven command failed with the following output. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? (I apologize if this is really a Maven question, but obtaining QuickStart is my only reason for messing with Maven.)
