Installing Maven on Mac OS X
Hi,
I am trying to install maven on my mac book, Mac OS X. when i do mvn, it
runs alright; but when i try to do :
mvn archetype:generate .. it gives build failure... My guess is that i am
missing some steps, can someone point me to either a URL or guide me through
the steps for installing this on mac os x. I already have installed maven on
vista and XP before ... but kinda new to mac os x ... any help would be
appreciable,

darwinports is a package manager for the mac. You can read all about
it in the url I posted. It includes Maven and it's acceptably up to
date.

Rick,
Apart from Wendy's instructions, you can also install Maven with tools
that'll make it just work for you:
I use Maven with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and Maven 2.0.9 without a
problem, but I I used darwinports: http://darwinports.com/ (a simple
sudo port install maven2 would install it in /opt, all you need to do
is add /opt/local/bin to your PATH in your profile). Fink
(http://www.finkproject.org/) also has it, but its latest Maven
version is 2.0.7, whilst darwinports's is 2.0.9.
Good luck with either suggestion,
Gabriel

Set M2_HOME to your new Maven install, and make sure $M2_HOME/bin is
on your PATH before the directory where the default mvn lives.

Re: Installing Maven on Mac OS X

In order to help, we need to know what steps you took and what error
message you're getting.
I believe OS X ships with Maven 2.0.6, so if you haven't gotten it
completely switched over to (I assume) 2.0.9, the archetype:generate
goal will not be available as Archetype 2 requires at least 2.0.7.
What is the output of "mvn -v" ? Of "echo $M2_HOME" ?
