Given an archetype cmd -
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=io.confluent.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=kafka-connect-quickstart \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.10.0.0
When I run this in a new, empty directory, it should create a source code folder structure for me.
Instead, I get the following -
[INFO] Scanning for projects...

It appears to me that it's looking for a pom file, which I won't have, because this is a new project.
Any clues? Any help?
Environment: Windows. java -v == OpenJDK version "11.0.2"
The command
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=io.confluent.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=kafka-connect-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=0.10.0.0
runs all right on my computer. If I include the backslash, though, (which is present in your question), I get an error like the one you showed.
