```

I have looked on the previous questions related to mine and have tried all suggested solutions but nothing worked. Environment Var are all set:

```
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121
M2_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-maven-3.3.9
MAVEN_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-maven-3.3.9

PATH=....;%M2_HOME%\bin;%M2%

```

Please note that the project is not being created at all, so its NOT the case that i am not being able to open a project.

I have visited the site that the output is showing but I had no luck (:

Your help is appreciated.
