Maven and Java_Home
Actually you need to create
system variable like this:JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45CLASS_PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\libUser variableME = C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.1.1\binM2_HOME = C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.1.1MAVEN_OPTS = -Xms256m -Xmx512mPath - insert into your pathC:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.1.1\binDon't forget to reboot system
Read the error message carefully. It says:
... JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45;" ...See the stray semicolon? Get rid of it!
The JAVA_HOME variable should contain a directory name ... not a "search path". What you are telling Maven to do is to use a directory whose name contains a semicolon. That directory doesn't exist.
Meta-advice: it pays to read error messages carefully.
I faced the similar situation. I resolved it by removing the semicolon(;) at the end of JAVA_HOME.
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11Instead of
JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11;"
