Hi, According to FAQ info on http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-m2.html, in order to build M2, you should set env variables to point to new installation of M2.
set M2_HOME=c:\maven-2.0.1-SNAPSHOT set PATH=%M2_HOME%\bin;%PATH% But when you set those variables, the script file (bootstrap.bat/sh) does not work any more - because you don't have M2_HOME pointed to working installation of M2. If you decide that script creates new installation of maven, the script should not depend on existing maven. I believe the user does not want to install new maven snapshot - he wants just compile and create jars. Then if the user wants it, he can install jars, set up the env. variables to have his development env working on brand new created maven. Now, I don't know if I can fire the bootstrap script with my existing maven - according to the documentation it will install new M2 into M2_HOME, which is not what I want.
