building storm-starter: getting error "POM for storm-core missing"

Question

I've downloaded the incubator-storm code from https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm. Now, I'm attempting to run WordCountTopology with the command:

mvn compile exec:java -Dstorm.topology=storm.starter.WordCountTopology

per instructions documented on https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm/tree/master/examples/storm-starter. However, I am getting the following error:

ubuntu@ip-10-242-202-111:~/incubator-storm-master/examples/storm-starter$ mvn compile exec:java -Dstorm.topology=storm.starter.WordCountTopology
