   > In some contexts you have to configure MAVEN_HOME property to indicate which maven to use, for example on Apache Netbeans IDE you have to choose directory to use to run maven In this case NB will try to execute /bin/mvn so you can't set mvnd path because mvnd/bin/mvn does not exist

   I'm trying to make mvnd work under netbeans. I have installed mvnd with sdkman. Can you please please explain how you workarounded it?
   
   Being my mvnd binary at  /home/myuser/apps/sdkman/candidates/mvnd/current/bin I made
   mkdir -p /home/myuser/apps/sdkman/candidates/mvnd/maven_home/bin
   and the 
   ln -s /home/myuser/apps/sdkman/candidates/mvnd/current/bin/mvnd  /home/myuser/apps/sdkman/candidates/mvnd/maven_home/bin/mvn
   Then I set /home/myuser/apps/sdkman/candidates/mvnd/maven_home/ as maven home in netbeans, but it still complaints about "Invalid Maven installation directory"
