Maven 2

We use Maven 2 for our build environment, this page simply set's it up for you. Actual build instructions will happen later.

1. Download Maven:

   Maven 2.0.9

   GeoTools	Maven Version
   2.6.x	maven-2.0.9
   2.5.x	maven-2.0.9
   2.4.x
   2.3.x
   2.2.x	maven-2.0.5-bin.zip

2. Unzip the maven download to your computer: C:\java\maven-2.0.9
   • The use of maven-2.0.9 is now required
   • If you do not have an unzip program may we recommend: http://www.7-zip.org/
3. You need to have the following environmental variables set for maven to work:

   JAVA_HOME	C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\	Location of your JDK installation
   M2_HOME	C:\java\maven-2.0.9	Location of your maven installation
   PATH	%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin	Include java and maven bin directory in your PATH

   (You can change all of that with Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environmental Variables)

Did it Work?

Open up a cmd window and type the following:

C:\java>mvn --version

If it spits out the version number mentioned above you are good to go.
