I'm struggling to create a Maven Project in VSC, coming from Python this feels like a major jump up as it probably is. How do I create a project? I've gotten thus far (image) but following this link: https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html has proved frustrating.
It says I need a POM.xml file but I'll be honest I have no idea what it is, how to create it (I thought that it would be created when I entered mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4 -DinteractiveMode=false) and I'm quite honestly stuck. I wish to stick to VSC because I'm stubborn and I've installed the neccesary extensions.

Extensions:
Extension Pack for Java v0.25.15
Maven for Java v0.43.0

Other Installations:
openjdk version "21.0.1" 2023-10-17 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-21.0.1.12.1 (build 21.0.1+12-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-21.0.1.12.1 (build 21.0.1+12-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Apache Maven 3.9.5 (57804ffe001d7215b5e7bcb531cf83df38f93546)
Maven home: C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.9.5
Java version: 21.0.1, vendor: Amazon.com Inc., runtime: C:\Program Files\Amazon Corretto\jdk21.0.1_12
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"

I just need to figure out how to actually start writing the code, this tutorial for something I want to make has Maven as a requirement so I'm just stuck in my tracks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: I just ran mvn archetype:generate and seems to be going fine

#

what number should I choose for filter?

when you create a project with archetype:generate it will create a directory structure in the current working directory; open that directory as a project in VSC
