All,
I am trying to build Maven 2.0.9 from the source, as found on the Apache
site. I went through the necessary steps of setting M2_HOME to a valid
name (M2_HOME=c:\tmp\apache-maven-2.0.9) and adding M2_HOME to my
windows path (PATH=%M2_HOME%\bin;%PATH%) as per the documentation.
However, when I try to build I get an error. This is my first time
trying to build Maven2 so it's possible I did something stupid but I
don't know what.
Can anyone help shed some light on this?
