In this article, I will show, how to install Maven on the windows machine.
Maven is the tool mainly used to build the project Java projects. You can get more information about maven from http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html
JDK needs to be installed before Maven installed. Also, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is pointing to JDK.
Once its done, download Maven from its official site http://maven.apache.org/download.html
download Binary Zip file and extract it on the local folder (ex. c:/maven)
Set MAVEN_HOME to installed location (c:/maven in our case) same as we have done for JAVA_HOME
Now double click on the PATH variable and add %MAVEN_HOME%bin at the end. Don’t forget to put a semicolon (‘;’) before putting %MAVEN_HOME%bin
For example, if PATH is set as D:softSSH then first put semicolon (‘;’) and then put %MAVEN_HOME%bin so that it will be looks like D:softSSH;%MAVEN_HOME%bin
On completing this, just open the command prompt and type mvn -version. On successful completion, you can get the following output on the command prompt,
