Answer 1

I had the same error :D, and what I did was modifying the permission of the folder in which I was creating my project folder (in you case 'my-app'). Indeed, I was just following the maven tutorial's guidelines when I came into this error.

Changing '/usr/local/apache-maven/' folder permission to 775 or to 777 should make it!
