On my Windows 7 machine I have the following environment variables:
-
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07
-
M2_HOME=C:\apache-maven-3.0.3
On my PATH variable, I have (among others) the following:
- %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin
I tried doing what you’ve done with %M2% having the nested %M2_HOME% and it also works.
