java - Unable to create a new maven hello-world project

Question

I am looking at few maven tutorial videos and then I ran into this command after installing maven:

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.di.maven -DartifactId=hello-world

The build fails and throws the following error:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.3:create 
(default-cli) on project standalone-pom: Unable to parse configuration of mojo 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.3:create for parameter #: Abstract 
class or interface 'org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository' cannot be 
instantiated -> [Help 1]

What is the reason and how can I fix it? I am running as an user in Ubuntu.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.di.maven -DartifactId=hello-world -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
