1. I have created a maven project using the terminal in Ubuntu with the process listed. The project created successfully.

2. Deleted the maven project by right-clicking.

3. And tried to create a new maven project from the terminal by giving the mvn archetype: generate.

4. Then i have observed the following exception in the terminal.
