Dennis Lundberg closed MNGSITE-146.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
If you read the instructions closely, you will see this text:
"The subdirectory apache-maven-3.0.3 will be created from the archive".
That part of the path is in the archive itself. Unless you have manually
changed that you should be able to follow the instructions to make it work.
> Installation Instructions don't work for Windows

> Key: MNGSITE-146
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-146
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Jim Goodwin
> Priority: Minor
>
> Step 3 of the Installation Instructions on this page
> http://maven.apache.org/download.html say to add %M2_HOME%\bin directory to
> the PATH environment variable. There is no %M2_HOME%\bin directory. For
> example, when I extracted the downloaded archive, I extracted it to
> c:\apache-maven-3.0.3. That is supposed to be path for M2_HOME, however there
> is no \bin directory under that path. There is a \bin directory under
> c:\apache-maven-3.0.3\apache-maven.
> The end result is that running the mvn command results in "'mvn' is not
> recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch
> file."
> Here is the content of my M2_HOME environment variable:
> C:\apache-maven-3.0.3>echo %M2_HOME%
> C:\apache-maven-3.0.3
> Here is the content of my PATH environment variable:
> C:\apache-maven-3.0.3>echo %PATH%
> C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
> Files\IntelWiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common
> Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;C:\Program
> Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin;C:\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v7\java\bin;C:\apache-maven-3.0.3\bin
> Following step 7 of the instructions results in:
> C:\apache-maven-3.0.3>mvn --version
> 'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program
> or batch file.
