Something like export PATH=$MY_JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH or set PATH=%MY_JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH% and then invoke mvn. Run a java -version before to verify your setup. If this works create a *.sh or *.bat file to make your life easier. Be arware that on windows systems the jdk binaries are dumped in system32 what is quite ahead in the path. So it does NOT work to set your users local PATH variable. > > Many thanks, > > -Jan Regards Jörg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE5NTPmPuec2Dcv/8RAnWHAJ47rwV3yUE+44DLRSsCYY5L8+LtJgCfWL1Z 4/lrapzh+VfSGUrU3NB3Lq4= =lxOj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
