Fixed. -----Original Message----- From: Johnny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 8:07 AM To: dev@maven.apache.org Subject: Good program, imperfect documentation
http://maven.apache.org/download.html says at the page bottom Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) 1. Extract the distribution archive to the directory you wish to install Maven 2.0.8. These instructions assume you chose /usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.8 . The directory apache-maven-2.0.8 will be created from the archive. 2. Add the bin directory to your path, eg. export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.8/bin:$PATH 3. Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK, eg. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02 4. Run mvn --version to verify that it is correctly installed. #4. Did not work. It took me hours to see why. #2. Had to be changed to this 2. Add the bin directory to your path, eg. export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.8/apache-maven-2.0.8/bin:$PATH I never cease to be amazed that Linux people will work for months to get software right then will not spend a few minutes to make sure the documentation is right. However I commend you for at least giving 4 lines with some cut and paste commands. This is so much better than prose. At least the person who is trying to use it for the first can see what was trying to be accomplished and how instead of guessing at English intrepretations. Thanks for the program. I hope the rest of the using it is easier. Johnny Stovall Objective Oriented Unification Commitment. We all have gifts and limitations. I'm using my gifts to help others overcome limitations.
