Why does maven 3 still use the M2_HOME variable?

[Peter Wilkinson <pr...@gmail.com>]

Doing this stops maven 2 and maven 3 being able to run on the same machine.
It also makes no sense.

 

Cheers,

The maven installation instructions [1] explicitly mention the M2_HOME 
variable (and not MAVEN_HOME), is this obsolete?

I run m2 and m3 on the same machine at the same time (but from different
windows)... no issues at all for me.

just don't use M2_HOME at all, use MAVEN_HOME both versions pick it up quite
successfully the M2_HOME was only legacy when M1 was around.
