How to generate a new Maven project?

fyicenter> apache-maven-3.5.4\bin\mvn archetype:generate 
   -DartifactId=hello -DgroupId=com.fyicenter 
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart 
   -DinteractiveMode=false

fyicenter> tree /f hello

C:\FYICENTER\HELLO
|   pom.xml
|
|---src
    ├---main
    |   |---java
    |       |---com
    |           |---fyicenter
    |                   App.java
    |
    |---test
        |---java
            |---com
                |---fyicenter
                        AppTest.java
                                                
fyicenter> type hello\src\main\java\com\fyicenter\App.java

package com.fyicenter;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */
public class App
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
    }
}

If you are on a Linux computer, the "mvn" command should look like this:

fyicenter$ ./apache-maven-3.8.7/bin/mvn archetype:generate \
   -DartifactId=hello -DgroupId=com.fyicenter \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart \
   -DinteractiveMode=false

...

Note that if you run the above command for the first time, it will download lots of required Java packages.
