Make sure you invoke Maven from the correct directory

I installed maven:

C:\Windows\System32>mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.3.3 (7994120775791599e405a7528ec3e0dke21dja06; 2015-04-22T13:57:3
7+02:00)
Maven home: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.3.3
Java version: 1.7.0_51, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\jre
Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 8", version: "6.2", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am trying to create a Jersey Glassfish project using maven hint, but when I type the following:

D:\maven>mvn archetype:generate  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archety
pes -DinteractiveMode=false \ -DarchetypeVersion=2.17

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am getting this error:

The task you listed requires the project to run, but there is no POM in that directory (D: \ maven). Make sure you are calling Maven from the correct directory. → [Help 1]

I don't understand the error: What project is required here since I am trying to build it? And how do I create the pom.xml file? I thought it was created by creating a project.

I appreciate any help.

Change when I print it without\

D:\maven>mvn archetype:generate  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archety
pes  -DinteractiveMode=false -DarchetypeVersion=2.17
