i have Windows Vista and i'm trying to install maven and test it.
But i realised that i have a problem with JAVA and i have to solve first.
I do Start->Run->cmd
and i type in the command line,
C:\>mvn clean
i get the following error
ERROR: JAVA_HOME not found in your environment.
Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the
location of your Java installation
So i say: Let's set the PATH for Java and i did:
Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variable->System Variables
Edit the PATH variable
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32;C:\apache-maven-3.0.4\bin;
But then i get the same error when i do:
C:\>mvn clean
Then i typed in the cmd prompt:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b11)
and i realise that the Java version that is running is not located under the
"C:\Program Files\Java" directory
The only JDKs i have are:
jdk1.6.0_29
jdk1.6.0_32
Then i did Run->cmd
C:\>where java
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
(Recently i downloaded IDE Eclipse and IDE IntelliJ and i don't know if these apps
come with the JDK).
Where can i find my JDK installation in Windows and set the path in environmental variables?
