Do you expect us to be able to help you in any meaningful way after describing the issue with a single word, "trouble"? :) What's the issue you're having, what error message do you get when running the command?

The same "trouble" happened to me. So I updated maven version from 3.2.2 to 3.6.3 and the "trouble" gone.
