I have some problems with my maven 3 installation.
I have downloaded maven 3.0.3 and extracted it to a folder.
I set the following environment variables.
- M2_HOME:
C:\a few folders\apache-maven-3.0.3
- M2:
%M2_HOME%\bin
- JAVA_HOME:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25
- Path:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin; %M2%
I get a message that the command is not recognized when i type "mvn" in the command line. Any ideas?

Maven 3.0.3 and later doesn't need the
M2_HOME
variable. The following environment variable changes are sufficient to run Maven from the command-line:JAVA_HOME
to the Javajdk
directory (eg.C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_29
)PATH
to include the Mavenbin
directory.
