Maven environment setup on Windows

In this tutorial, we will setup maven on windows machine.

For this, we need below,

• jdk1.8.0_91
• apache-maven-3.3.9

1. Make sure JDK is installed. Once JDK is installed, set JAVA_HOME environment variable as below,

JAVA_HOME=D:\Java\jdk1.8.0_77

2. Update PATH environment variables and append below highlighted string at start of PATH.

3. Once done, download apache maven from official Apache Maven Download

.

Unzip apache-maven to directory. Assume, its unzipped to below location,

D:\Development_Env\apache-maven-3.3.9-bin\apache-maven-3.3.9

4. Set M2_HOME environment variable as below,

M2_HOME= D:\Development_Env\apache-maven-3.3.9-bin\apache-maven-3.3.9

5. Add Maven bin folder to PATH environment variable

6. Verify the setup:

Run mvn –version command in the common prompt. If all above steps are followed properly then we should get output similar to below,

C:\Users\admin>mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.3.9 (bb52d8502b132ec0a5a3f4c09453c07478323dc5; 2015-11-10T22:11:47+05:30)
Maven home: D:\Development_Env\apache-maven-3.3.9-bin\apache-maven-3.3.9
