    • Set the environment variable “M2” to ”%M2_HOME%\bin;”
    • Add ”%M2%” to the path.
    • Check that the environment variable “JAVA_HOME” exists and is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk” and that ”%JAVA_HOME%\bin” is in your Path environment variable. With Java7 on Windows, this is not true by default.
