Problem installing Hibernate with Maven

Hi,

I am new with Hibernate. I am trying to install it, so
I have firstable downloaded Maven 2.2.1

I have installed maven and set up the enviroment variables
as well as the settings.xml as it is indicated in the Hibernate
web.

But when I run mvn clean install from the command line
I get the following error,

Code:

C:\>mvn clean install -e

You are not in your projects directory.

Code:

C:\>mvn clean install -e

Unless you have a project POM sitting in the root of your C: drive that isn't going to work.

And you don't because you get this:

Code:

[INFO] Cannot execute mojo: clean. It requires a project with an existing pom.xm
l, but the build is not using one.

Thanks Philip,

I have tried to get a solution to my problem and I have found
Guide to using Eclipse with Maven 2.x, at the url,

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ide-eclipse.html#Maven_2_repository

Even with the mistakes the page has (in my opinion), I have could implement a
Multiple Module Project.

It is ok.

Regards,
Oggie

I'd suggest just working with eclipse and Hibernate without Maven. Why complicate things when you're just trying to get your environment up and running?
