Hey Jon, The lift installer primarily does 3 things:
1) install maven to /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9 2) install javarebel ( but not add it to the maven opts - it's here it you want to configure a special launcher) 3) adds this version of maven to your path by editing ~/.bash_profile Does that clear things up for you?
