Maven Environment Setup

Below are the steps to be followed for setting up Maven Environment

Step1: Verify Java Installation on your machine.
           Open the command prompt and type java -version. It should return us the Java version
           we are using.

If the JDK is not installed on your machine, get it from Oracle downloads page.

Step2: Set JAVA_HOME env variable to point to the installation directory of Java.
          In windows, open the computer -> properties-> Advanced System Settings ->
          Click on Env variables.
          JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40

Step3: Append the path to the JDK bin directory to the PATH env variable.
          Open the env variables tab, and append C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin to PATH.

Step4: Extract the Maven Archive to the local directory.

Step5: Set the Env variable M2_HOME to the Maven directory
            M2_HOME = D:\apache-maven-3.3.3

Step6: Append Maven bin directory (D:\apache-maven-3.3.3\bin) to the PATH env variable.

Step7: Verify Maven Installation. Open the command prompt and type in mvn --version.
           It should give us the version details.

With this, the maven environment setup is done.
