Need of serious help

["Dave \"The Gerb\"" <ha...@bellsouth.net>]

Big newbie here gang.

I tried to get Maven 1.0.2 to run on here (here = win2000) but never to any
avail. First, Id click on maven.bat and a dos window would pop up and close
so fast could never read any messages. After some website reading (further),
tweaking, variable editing it would at least stay up long enough to see the
maven logo and a bunch of other loading stuff before it would vanish.

I finally gave up and hoped for a new version since no one else seemed to
have the same problem (according to the mailing list).

The new version arrived! Yea! But Im back to where it comes and goes faster
than I can read.

I don't know maven, I don't know java but I am very interested in java and
need maven in order to run something else I need (which by now I cant even
recall what that was.... I just know I need maven first).

Anyone who is EXTREMELY patient? I need help.

Dave

Hi Dave,

Did you define JAVA_HOME and (optionally) MAVEN_HOME on your machine?

More over, the maven.bat is mainly a command line client - e.g. you need 
to specify WHAT you want it to do - for instance:

C:\dvlp\myproject> maven *java:compile***

or:

C:\dvlp\myproject> maven *jar***

This will create a "target" directory (under "myproject") where maven 
will put your compiled classes (first command) and create your JAR file 
(second command).

cheers,
    Arik.

Many is a command line tool, and not intended to be run for a long time.

You should select the command prompt from your start menu, and run
"maven" from there. If it is not found, you need to add it to your
path - you can find instructions in the "installation instructions" at
maven.apache.org.
