Looks like mvn is not on your path (the purpose of step 2 thru 7 is to
have, one way or another, the bin directory of Maven in your path
variable). Note that after updating the environment variables you should
open a new terminal and not reuse an existing one. If that is not your
problem, could you post the output of the command set (just type 'set'
without the single quotes in a terminal).

Hi
I am a first time user of maven and new to open source in general. I have
downloaded the latest version .bin file and followed the instructions “copied
and pasted” below:
Windows 2000/XP
1.. Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. apache-maven-3.0.3-bin.zip to the
directory you wish to install Maven 3.0.3. These instructions assume you chose
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation. The subdirectory
apache-maven-3.0.3 will be created from the archive.
2.. Add the M2_HOME environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause),
selecting the "Advanced" tab, and the "Environment Variables" button, then adding
the M2_HOME variable in the user variables with the value C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-maven-3.0.3. Be sure to omit any quotation marks around the path even if it contains
spaces. Note: For Maven< 2.0.9, also be sure that the M2_HOME doesn't have a '\' as last character.
3.. In the same dialog, add the M2 environment variable in the user
variables with the value %M2_HOME%\bin.
4.. Optional: In the same dialog, add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable in
the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value -Xms256m -Xmx512m.
This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.
5.. In the same dialog, update/create the Path environment variable in the
user variables and prepend the value %M2% to add Maven available in the command
line.
6.. In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME exists in your user
variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK,
e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02 and that %JAVA_HOME%\bin is in your Path
environment variable.
7.. Open a new command prompt (Winkey + R then type cmd) and run mvn
--version to verify that it is correctly installed.
After running several different permutations and attempting to gain an expected
response from the command prompt using mvn –version the system has proved to
be not properly installed. The command mvn is not recognised. I have a standard
Windows 7 install with a fairly standard AMD processor. Plenty of memory and
disk space.
Can anyone identify what might be causing this phenomenon on my machine?
Many thanks
Martin Harrison
