Answer 1

for the ones that just migrated to mavericks - I used the *-ux solution;

1. download maven from apache maven site
2. put in /opt

3. modified .bash_profile and added:

   alias mvn='/opt/apache-maven-3.1.1/bin/mvn'
   export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home
