Installing Maven On CentOS

05APR

These are the simple sequences for making maven work on a CentOS machine.

Pre-requisite : Java to be installed, check using java -version

1. Download the current maven version from the prescribed repository, http://maven.apache.org/download.html. I use to work with maven version 2.0.11 and hence downloaded using,

> wget http://www.eng.lsu.edu/mirrors/apache//maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.0.11-bin.tar.gz

Please wait while it is downloaded as a tar archive.

2. Extract the archive to the desired maven home directory, which can be a common, /usr/local/

So move the downloaded apache-maven-2.0.11-bin.tar.gz to /usr/local/ path using mv command or a short way can be use the wget command told before after going to the /usr/local/ path. Any way no issues..

> mv apache-maven-2.0.11-bin.tar.gz /usr/local

> cd /usr/local

> tar -zxvf apache-maven-2.0.11-bin.tar.gz

This will extract the apache-maven-2.0.11 directory into /usr/local/

3. Create sym link..

> ln -s apache-maven-2.0.11 maven

4. Open ~/.bashrc file with vi ~/.bashrc and add the following lines to the end of the file,

export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-2.0.11
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

5. AT last execute the environment changes with the command,    

> . ~/.bashrc

Check the installation with,

> mvn -version

Install M2E in RAD

Install - M2Eclipse 0.10 cannot install 

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=330206&tstart=1&messageID=14558573

Well, don't know the reason... reading the log, it seems it tries to use org.eclipse.zest.core plug-in and it is not found.

Doing some digging, it seems org.eclipse.zest.core is part of Eclipse GEF project: http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF_Zest_Visualization which doesn't seem to be installed by default as part of Eclipse 3.6 (my installation) nor RAD 8.0 Beta 1.

I checked the Update Site you mentioned, and I didn't see the plug-in too.

I would suggest as workaround, try to connect to Helios Update site (Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios)and install Graphical Editing Framework Zest Visualization Toolkit SDK. And then, try to install M2Eclipse plug-ins again...

About, why Equinox p2 within Eclipse 3.6 knows how to manage this dependency and Equinox p2 within RAD 8.0 Beta 1 doesn't... I don't know the answer.

Hope this helps.
