You're not missing anything. You may not have run the command line command correctly.

The same command works for me:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.baeldung -DartifactId=parent-project

Result:

Check also the version of mvn you have installed

I have finally realized that my PowerShell environment will interpret into the wrong command. So the correct command in PowerShell should be:

mvn archetype:generate '-DgroupId=com.baeldung' '-DartifactId=parent-project'

If I put the original command in a Command Prompt, it will not produce any error.
