MAVEN_HOME, MVN_HOME or M2_HOME

Question

What\'s the correct Maven environment variable name: MAVEN_HOME, MVN_HOME or M2_HOME?

I\'ve found some details about M

Answer 1

I've personally never found it useful to set M2_HOME.

What counts is your $PATH environment. Hijacking part of the answer from Danix, all you need is:

export PATH=/Users/xxx/sdk/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin:$PATH

The mvn script computes M2_HOME for you anyway for what it's worth.
