Question

i installed apache-maven-3.0.4 on mac 10.6.8, the bin folder structure is like this:

/usr/share/java/maven-3.0.4/bin/
  -- m2.conf
  -- mvn
  -- mvn.bat
  -- mvnDebug
  -- mvnDebug.bat
  -- mvnyjp

if i run ‘mvn -v’ as non-root user, i get:

-bash: maven: command not found

if i run as a root user, i got:

Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.6.0_29, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.6.8", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

the same thing to ‘mvnDebug’, how can i fix this so that non-root user can access these commands? Thanks

You need to set PATH to include /usr/share/java/maven-3.0.4/bin/. And make sure that the modes the entire tree are something like 755.
