Hi,
Okay, so here is the structure of the current maven rpm (main parts). We
have:
/usr/bin/mvn
/usr/bin/mvn-jpp
/usr/share/java/maven2/* links to jars in /usr/share/maven2
/usr/share/maven2/
-- The M2_HOME dir
/usr/share/maven2/bin/*
-- wrapper scripts that maven comes with
/usr/share/maven2/conf/settings.xml
-- settings file. will eventually be a link
to /etc/mavcen-settings.xml or something
/usr/share/maven2/core
/usr/share/maven2/core/boot
-- links to jars in /usr/share/java
/usr/share/maven2/lib
-- the maven2 jars
/usr/share/maven2/poms
-- static poms
So for all intents and purposes, /usr/share/maven2 can act as M2_HOME
even with the maven2 rpm.
Generally, if some project does needs a XXX_HOME dir with specific
structure, we try to mimic the structure with rpm so that the project
can continue working correctly. maven2 will just end up being another
such project.

Deepak
