Hello Maven-Users,
I'm attempting to install Apache Maven 2.2.1 under Windows Vista.
Unfortunately, following the instructions on the site fails to locate the
mvn.bat file from the command line.
My directory structure (following extraction) is as follows. Note that key
files are shown for reference but all files have been extracted
successfully.
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1
apache-maven
src
bin
mvn.bat
maven-artifact
maven-artifact-manager
etc
My understanding from the XP/2000 installation guide is the environment
variables should be set:
M2_HOME: C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1
M2 %M2_HOME%\bin
PATH .;%M2%
But this doesn't work. The command line fails to find the mvn file, because
the PATH resolves to:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin
rather than
C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1\apache-maven\src\bin
Changing M2 to:
%M2_HOME%\apache-maven\bin \src
fixes this but then it
Changing M2_HOME instead produces the "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/codehaus/classworlds/Launcher" error referenced in the unofficial FAQ.
I'd appreciate any help you could provide to resolve this problem.
Thanks for your time,
Philip Whitehouse
