-----------------------------------
Summary: Installation path on Windows
Key: MNGSITE-375
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-375
Project: Maven Project Web Site
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Chris Wells
[https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/windows-prerequisites.html]
says ...
> You need to install the Java SDK (e.g. from [Oracle's download
>site|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html]), and
>you should install it to a pathname without spaces, such as {{c:\j2se1.6}}.
... which is inconvenient if it's already installed, because that's not the
default directory.
[https://maven.apache.org/install.html] says ...
```
* Check environment variable value e.g.
echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
```
... which contradicts the above.
One or other of these should be changed.

which is from 2010 and could be updated when you decide what the right answer
is (i.e. whether it's necessary to install into a path without space).
