The Mac isn't much different than your Linux systems. The trickiest part
is that they don't use the /home directory. Users are located in /Users,
instead. (I can't imagine why they did that, but it doesn't matter.)
You still have .bashrc and .bash_profile available to you in your user's
home directory. So, it's no trouble to install Maven there and set up
your environment variables the as you might on Linux. If you prefer to
set things up so that they are more universally available on the Mac,
you can always "sudo bash" and go to town as the root user. I'm not at
my Mac, right now, so I can't speak in specifics. If you would like more
details, shoot me back a private email and we can take it offline.
As far as I know, there is no Java6 for Mac, yet. So far, the only
compatibility difference I've run across, as compared to the available
Java5, is that the String.isEmpty() method doesn't exist in Java5. We
simply changed our code to use commons StringUtils.isEmpty().

I am used to configuring Windows and Linux as a developer machine. But want
to setup a mac now. And I am finding it tough to add maven 2.0.9 along with
MAVEN_HOME, as well as a newer JDK 6 and JAVA_HOME so I can run command line
builds on a Mac. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or something?
