[jira] Updated: (MNG-1273) Current installation instructions for Windows do not mention M2_HOME. It is required and cannot have spaces.
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1273?page=all ]
John Casey updated MNG-1273:
----------------------------
Description:
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.)
