[jira] Created: (MNG-1273) Current installation instructions for Windows do not mention M2_HOME. It is required and cannot have spaces.
Current installation instructions for Windows do not mention M2_HOME. It is required and cannot have spaces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1273
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1273
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.0
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Richard Bondi
Priority: Minor
Two issues:
1. The installation instructions for Windows make no mention of the need to set M2_HOME. But if you try to run "mvn --version" after following the instructions, you are prompted to set this environment variable.
2. At least on Windows 2K, M2_HOME will not work if it contains spaces. One workaround is to use the "short" 8.3 version of all directory names. (To see the short version of directory names, do "dir /A:D /X" in a DOS window.)

Grzegorz Slowikowski commented on MNG-1273:
-------------------------------------------
I commented this issue here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1317
but this issue is still open.
I personally changed in my m2.bat file from "%~dps0" to "%~dp0" and it works.
I found in MNG-1318 (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1318) that "%~dps0"
has something to do with Windows NT. I have XP, so I cannot check if "%~dp0"
would work on NT or not.
But when using "mvn.bat" instead of "m2.bat" there is no issue.

This is a known bug in Windows 2000 and XP. It has been fixed in XP SP2. I have successfully modified mvn.bat as follows:
if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" for %%i in (%~sf0) do SET M2_HOME=%%~dspi..

Fix Version: 2.0.1
We will need assistance debugging this, as it works on both my Windows XP Home and XP Professional (SP2) machines.
(1) is addressed by using %~dps0\.. as M2_HOME by default (which returns the location of the batch file, the bin directory)
(2) is addressed by the s in %~dps0 which makes it give back the short name

Brent Worden commented on MNG-1273:
-----------------------------------
I believe this is a bug in Win2K. I installed m2 to c:\apps\maven-2.0.1 on a Win2K machine. Tinkering with the batch file, I found %~dps0 doesn't expand very nicely. Here is a comparison between %~dp0 and %~dps0:
{noformat}
using %~dp0: C:\apps\maven-2.0.1\bin\
using %~dps0: C:\apps\MAVEN-~1.1\bin\m
{noformat}
Notice the short name expansion doesn't make an attempt to demarcate the directory correctly. It appears to just preserve the string length.
Unless someone can come up with some batch file magic to massage the short name expansion, I, for one, would not attempt to fix this problem and simply document it as a deficiency in Win2K and that M2_HOME should be explicitly defined as an environment variable.
