Adding one more answer for Windows users. If none of this solves the problems.

Do not add space before or after =

-DgroupId= com.company.module //Wrong , Watch the space after the equal to 
-DgroupId=com.company.module //Right 

Its better to put everything inside double quotes, like "-DgroupId=com.." This will give you exact error rather than some random error.

Weird that , maven does not even care to mention this in the documentation.
