looks like maven is requesting for the POM file but it is not stated in the tutrials that I have to create a POM before generating the project. I am actually new too maven so pardon me. I am using maven version :3.0.4 and akka version 2.0.2 but the tutorial uses akka version 2.0.1 but i donn't think that is the problem any suggestion please.
thank you
remove the \ then it should start to query for more informations.
I have no windows here, but on linux it shows the same behavior with
mvn archetype:generate /
