Apache Maven | |
What is it? | |
----------- | |
Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on | |
the concept of a Project Object Model (POM), Maven can manage a project's | |
build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. | |

System Requirements | |
------------------- | |
JDK: | |
1.5 or above (this is to execute Maven - it still allows you to build against 1.3 | |
and prior JDK's). | |
Memory: | |
No minimum requirement. | |
Disk: | |
No minimum requirement. Approximately 100MB will be used for your local repository, | |
however this will vary depending on usage and can be removed and redownloaded at | |
any time. | |
Operating System: | |
No minimum requirement. On Windows, Windows NT and above or Cygwin is required for | |
the startup scripts. Tested on Windows XP, Fedora Core and Mac OS X. | |
Installing Maven | |
---------------- | |
1) Unpack the archive where you would like to store the binaries, eg: | |
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) | |
tar zxvf apache-maven-3.0.x.tar.gz | |
Windows 2000/XP | |
unzip apache-maven-3.0.x.zip | |
2) A directory called "apache-maven-3.0.x" will be created. | |
3) Add the bin directory to your PATH, eg: | |
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X) | |
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.0.x/bin:$PATH | |
Windows 2000/XP | |
set PATH="c:\program files\apache-maven-3.0.x\bin";%PATH% | |
4) Make sure JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK | |
5) Run "mvn --version" to verify that it is correctly installed. | |
