Robert Scholte commented on MNGSITE-375:
----------------------------------------
I'm not aware of any space issues (being a Windows user myself), so the first
quote should be updated (including the Java version ;) )
> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: installation, windows
>
> [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.

> 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).
