> Hi,
> I had small problems to get the Maven2 installed, because I used Windows 
> system variables for "M2_HOME" and it in "path" variable.
> "Getting Started in 5 Minutes" should be excact for "stupid" users like I am.
> Problem was
> 1) I added M2_HOME to system variables - value was 
> "C:\Apps\apache-maven-2.0.8\bin"
>   --> mvn --version throwed a system message that mvn is not a valid command
> 2) I added M2_HOME to "path" variable
>   --> mvn --version throwed a good error message that my JAVA_HOME was 
> incorrect (I had that \bin there too)
> 3) I fixed JAVA_HOME - took that +bin away and tried again
>   --> mvn --version throwed a good error message that my M2_HOME was 
> incorrect (I had that \bin there too)
> 4) I fixed M2_HOME and path - took that +bin away and tried again
>  --> mvn --version throwed a error message that I did not understand
> {noformat}
