Sean Gilligan commented on MNG-5749:
------------------------------------
Yeah, I'm using Brew for now.
I do think there's a void that could be filled with a GVM install for Maven or
creating a similar tool for Java/Maven, and I thought an "Improvement request"
would be the way to do it. You can go ahead an close this issue. Or, if you
request, I can create a new issue with a more general description of the
problem.
I think there should be something in the ecosystem that manages versions of JVM
command line tools. I didn't realize how strongly GVM was intended to be
"Groovy only".
Let me know if you want me to open a new (more generally stated issue)
otherwise it is OK with me if you close it.
> Support installation of Maven via GVM (Groovy Versions Manager)

> Key: MNG-5749
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5749
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Deployment
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Environment: Mac OS & *NIX
> Reporter: Sean Gilligan
>
> Installing and managing Maven versions could be made much easier with GVM.
> GVM works great for managing Groovy, Grails, and Gradle versions. As far as I
> know there is no technical reason it couldn't install and manage Maven as
> well.
> The GVM developers have no plans to add support for 'maven', but they may
> accept a contribution. In the meantime I'm using Homebrew on Mac OS X, but
> GVM would be much nicer.
