My laptop got stolen so I had to redownload Java and Maven and I can’t seem to get Maven up and running, even though I had no problems last time. I have the following locations:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03
C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.0.4

In my environment settings, I added the following system variables:

M2_HOME - C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.0.4
JAVA_HOME - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03

I updated my Path system variable so that the following would be at the beginning:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;

All this I got from the Maven installation instructions. However, when I open a new command prompt and check the version, I get the following message:

'mvn' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Does anyone know what I am missing?

UPDATE

When I installed Java, I noticed java -version automatically started working without me having to do anything. Might there be a Java conflict somewhere?

    Your path variable should have %M2_HOME%\bin instead of %M2%\bin
