Martijn,
Till this point I was in office and I see that the .m2 folder was not getting created but now from home I ran the same command. From home, I can see there are 2 folders in .m2/repository folder 1) org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-archetype-plugin 2) org\codehaus\mojo
But the script is further failing giving I think the same error.
