Maven Can't Compile - maven

Question

I'm new to maven and can't understand how to get some examples from a book I have (O'Reilly's "Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1") running. It says to use the command "mvn clean install" to run the examples, but things don't work for me. When I go the folder where the pom.xml is, I get the following feedback:
$ mvn clean install[INFO] Scanning for projects...
