[jira] [Updated] (MNGSITE-375) Installation path on Windows
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Robert Scholte updated MNGSITE-375:
-----------------------------------
Description:
[https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/windows-prerequisites.html] says ...
{quote} You need to install the Java SDK (e.g. from [Oracle's download site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html]), and you should install it to a pathname without spaces, such as {{c:\j2se1.6}}.
{quote}
... which is inconvenient if it's already installed, because that's not the default directory.
[https://maven.apache.org/install.html] says ...
{quote}
* Check environment variable value e.g.
echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
{quote}
... which contradicts the above.
One or other of these should be changed.
See also [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18724226/why-shouldnt-i-put-spaces-in-my-maven-path-in-windows] which is from 2010 and could be updated when you decide what the right answer is (i.e. whether it's necessary to install into a path without space).
