Apache Beam execution

Question

I'm following this example but in the step: Run WordCount , throught direct command

$ mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.beam.examples.WordCount \
 -Dexec.args="--inputFile=pom.xml --output=counts" -Pdirect-runner

And finally I have this error:

[INFO] -----------------------------------------------------------------------
