Running Maven from Java code in Windows?

Question

I am trying to run maven from my java class based on this suggestion:

How to run maven from java?

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(\"mvn\");

Answer 1

Error 2 means that the executable cannot be found by the JRE environment. This means that the PATH environment variable does not contain the Maven binary directory.

2 choices here:

1. Make sure that the Maven bin directory is in the PATH environment variable
2. Use an absolute path to the mvn command.

Alternatively, this could also be due to a permission denied, but it is less likely the case.
