Hi, I am very new to maven, not to linux, or java web dev however.
I am trying to follow the tutorial at: http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tutorial1/first.html and on running: mvn -e archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.tapestry -DarchetypeArtifactId=quickstart -DgroupId=org.apache.tapestry -DartifactId=tutorial1 -DpackageName=org.apache.tapestry5.tutorial I get an error of which I believe the most relevant is the following: (But please kindly let me know if the full mvn output is required and I shall add) Embedded error: The META-INF/maven/archetype.xml descriptor cannot be found. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Trace org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Error creating from archetype at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:564) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeStandaloneGoal(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:493) I am using: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Maven version: 2.0.8 [I have also tried 2.1.0] java version "1.6.0_13" [This is the one from java.sun.com] Apache Ant version 1.7.0 Can you please help me. I've been reading the Tapestry 5 Book and also really got interested on tapestry on what I have read about it so far. regards Jason
