Robert Scholte updated MNGSITE-375:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
[https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/windows-prerequisites.html] 
says ...
{quote} 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}}.
{quote}
 ... which is inconvenient if it's already installed, because that's not the 
default directory.

 [https://maven.apache.org/install.html] says ...

 {quote}
 * Check environment variable value e.g.

echo %JAVA_HOME% 
 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
 {quote}

... which contradicts the above.

One or other of these should be changed.

[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18724226/why-shouldnt-i-put-spaces-in-my-maven-path-in-windows]
 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).
