Hi Ramya,

I just tried the above command and it worked for me. According to [1], you need maven 3 or above, what version are you using?

Hi ramyan60274153

Please its working fine for me too.

Please make sure of following prerequisites:-

• Apache Maven 3.0.4 or higher
• Oracle Java SE 1.5.x or higher
• CQ5.5, AEM 5.6 or higher

Please find below fer good reference to follow for building maven projects :-

Here are the steps to get you set up:

1) If you haven’t done so yet, install and configure a 1.7 JDK.  Instructions here.

2) Download Apache Maven

3) Unzip to a folder.  Eg.  C:\Programs\Apache\Maven

4) Create separate folder for the Maven Repository - separate so that you can update Maven with a newer version without affecting the repo.  Eg. C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\local_repo

5) Configure system environment variables M2_HOME(C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\apache-maven-3.0.4) and M2_REPO(C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\local_repo)

6) Add the /bin folder of Maven to the beginning of the existing system environment variable Path as e.g. %M2_HOME%\bin;

7) Start a command prompt and test whether maven is working.

mvn –version

You should get a response such as this:

Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 03:44:56-0500)
Maven home: C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\apache-maven-3.0.4
Java version: 1.6.0_31, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java home: C:\Programs\Java64-6\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: “windows 7”, version: “6.1”, arch: “amd64”, family: “windows”

8) Run the following command:

mvn archetype:generate

When it prompts to confirm, cancel.

9) Copy the Maven configuration file settings.xml from C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\apache-maven-3.2.1\conf\ to your Windows user profile.  Eg. C:\Users\JAYAN\.m2\

7) Edit settings.xml to configure the local repository.  Eg:

<localRepository>C:\Programs\Apache\Maven\local_repo</localRepository>

8) Follow instructions here.

I hope this would work for you.

Thanks and Regards
