SebbASF commented on MNG-5178: ------------------------------ If this is done, it may break scripts etc that rely on M2_HOME variable. So any such change should be well publicised as an incompatible change. If it can be done in such a way that M2_HOME still works when using Maven 3, so much the better. > Substitute environment variable M2_HOME by M3_HOME > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5178 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5178 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Command Line > Reporter: Oliver B. Fischer > Priority: Minor > > Maven 3 uses the environment variable {{M2_HOME}} to point to it's > installation directory. This variable should be replaced by {{M3_HOME}} to > allow users to have parallel installations of Maven 2 and Maven 3 without any > special handling of the environment variable {{M2_HOME}}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
