Problems installing maven on windows 7
Hi
I'm having problems installing maven. I don't know what I am doing wrong!
I've done a detailed explanation of how I'm installing maven. and a problem
I'm still experiencing. I must be making some mistake I can't see. I've
attached a video my attempt to install maven and a copy of M2_Home and Path
Video:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xo5ymrq5xep5ap3/maven%20installation%20in%20detail
.avi
M2_Home and Path
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ez4i0i8q4l9n3r0/Maven%20M2_HOME%20and%20Path%20Inf
o.txt
I look forward to a speedy response.
Speak soon
Jacqueline

Hi,
1. Could you check your maven folder? I suspect that you have another folder inside "Apache Maven" folder such maven-3.1.1 or something else. In that case you need to change your home folder like this C:\Users\user\Desktop\Apache Maven\mavenxxx\
2. If the folder is ok, please append your maven home folder at the beginning of your PATH variable. I am not sure about this but if there is a wrong url inside PATH variable, this can help to safely find mvn file.
3. And one my last suggestion is rebooting your machine. I came across some weird cases in which windows could not load env variable properly.

George-
if youre using Eclipse you will need to set the JAVA_HOME in startup .eclipserc
edit ~/.eclipserc and
add a JAVA_HOME= line to that file.

Hi,
You are almost ok. You need to install or find Java in your file system. It is almost same as you did for M2_HOME variable.
You can watch this video as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLArUJt-tBs

Can you perhaps share some details on what was broken and what you had to do to fix it, for the benefit of future users new to Maven?

Hi,
You are almost ok. You need to install or find Java in your file system. It is almost same as you did for M2_HOME variable.
You can watch this video as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLArUJt-tBs

Hi Jacqueline,
The error is clear: Java is not well configured on your env.
Set a JAVA_HOME variable to your java installation folder, add it (ie: %JAVA_HOME%\bin) to your PATH
(I assume that Java is installed on your Windows)

Hi
It's me again.
Still having problems *sigh*
I followed your kind suggestions and made the following changes
M2_HOME
C:\Users\user\Desktop\ApacheMaven\apache-maven-3.1.1
Path
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files\ZipGenius 6\bin;C:\Users\user\Desktop\ApacheMaven\apache-maven-3.1.1\bin
I then did mvn -version
I got the following message
See link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tpjuicre99rqwts/MVN%20installation%20attempt%20on%2020.12.13.docx
just noticed a space in path for zipgenius 6 should I change that to zipgenius6 ?
look forward to your responses.

As a follow-on to what Cemo said, I really don't recommend installing Maven (or anything else) inside a directory that has a space in the name. So if you have such a thing, rename the directory by changing spaces for underscores or just deleting the spaces.
So "Apache Maven" => ApacheMaven or Apache_Maven

that case you need to change your home folder like this

3. And one my last suggestion is rebooting your machine. I came across some
