problem with creating maven project with vscode

[Souranil21 chakraborty]

I am trying to create a maven webapp project in vscode. while giving the package name and artifact name that it wanted to be the default ones for now i was asked to choose the directory for the project to be created but it abruptly stopped and failed to create the project with the exit code 126 (I am on ubuntu 23.04).

Are you trying to create a Springboot project? If so, you should use https://start.spring.io

Seems as though maven isn't expecting the project directory to already exist, e.g. you are creating a duplicate.
