Bootstrapping Maven
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set the environment variable M2_HOME pointing to the dir where you want Maven2 installed.
NOTE: presently, the directory {M2_HOME}/bin must be in your path:
set PATH=%PATH%;%M2_HOME%\bin
or
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
In addition, the last part of the M2_HOME path MUST be of the form maven-$version, eg:
/usr/local/apache-maven-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT
You can set the parameters passed to the Java VM when running Maven2 bootstrap,
setting the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS, e.g.
e.g. to run in offline mode, set MAVEN_OPTS=-o
Then run `ant`.
NOTE: You must run these instructions from this directory!
If you are behind a firewall, you will need to let the bootstrap process know.
To do this, create a file at ~/.m2/settings.xml and paste in the XML below,
substituting your settings for those provided. You can safely skip the
username, password and nonProxyHost elements if they are not relevant to you.
<settings>
<proxies>
<proxy>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>proxy.somewhere.com</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>proxyuser</username>
<password>somepassword</password>
<nonProxyHosts>www.google.com|*.somewhere.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>
</settings>
