Anders Hammar commented on MNG-5610:
------------------------------------
Discussion around operating system requirements brought up on dev list:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/201403.mbox/%3CCAKDUN1uMbARC0g=Q=g+g6-0po9ewcjd-aqjdswfwsdckbk6...@mail.gmail.com%3E
The conclusion seems to be that the current text is old and outdated.
> README.txt in distro should be updated
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5610
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5610
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Documentation: General
> Affects Versions: 3.2.1
> Environment: n/a
> Reporter: Anders Hammar
>
> The README.txt file in the distro contains some text that should be
> updated/corrected:
> {quote}
> Windows 2000/XP
> {quote}
> (There are other quotes as well around different Windows versions.) We should
> probably just specify Windows.
> {quote}
> Please see the file called LICENSE.TXT
> {quote}
> The file is called LICENSE
> {quote}
> On Windows, Windows NT and above or Cygwin is required for the startup
> scripts.
> {quote}
> Very confusing. What are we saying?
> Also, the stated link http://maven.apache.org/release-notes.html should be
> verified if it's the correct one. There was a recent discussion on the dev
> list around the release notes not being up-to-date.
> Any changes should be synced with the
> http://maven.apache.org/download.html#Installation page as well.
