Installing Maven %HOME%
In this article just under the warning, http://maven.apache.org/start/install.html the directions say, For Windows: %MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat %HOME%\.maven\repository I understand %MAVEN_HOME% but I do not understand %HOME%. Exactly what are they referring to and should I set an Environment variable called HOME and if so what should it point to?

Re: Installing Maven %HOME%
%HOME% is your windows user account home. If you want to share your repository, do not put it in any one person's home directory, I use C:\mavenrepository and everybody on the system has access.

Re: Installing Maven %HOME%
Alright I think you are talking about these environment variables: ALLUSERSPROFILE for All Users or for me as the Adminstrator: USERPROFILE %HOME% equals one of the above? Is that correct? I would make a repository folder under C:\Documents and Settings\%profile% and then that's that? This is the weirdest install I have ever done. All I have is \maven\bin in the path. Shouldn't I put something from maven in my classpath? -- George Hester __ Kevin Hagel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] %HOME% is your windows user account home.

Re: Installing Maven %HOME%
open a command window and just type set and you'll see the whole pile of environment variables. I advise against using any directories in maven that contain spaces, such as Documents And Settings. While they're convenient for we humans, some jelly scripts tokenize on white space and things can get confused. I put it in C:\mavenrepository so that I can open an explorer folder and grab it right off the top, instead of having to descend into subdirectories to get at them -- as well as being able to share it with all other users who log into the system.
