You variables don't seem to be set. Best would be to set them in my computer -> properties -> advanced -> environment variables After setting and closing the window, open a new command prompt. I think proper syntax to set env variables in windows is SET *VARIABLE*=*value* and not SET *VARIABLE* = *value* Thanks Sachin

Hello, I have been trying to build the XWiki sources but with no luck. I am getting stuck at the first step itself- setting up Maven.

Following are the commands I use to set the envt. variables as indicated in this link - http://maven.apache.org/download.html#Installation and the errors I get. Can anybody tell from this, whats going wrong here?

C:\>set M2_HOME = C:\Kam\Software\apache- maven-2.1-SNAPSHOT\apache-maven-2.1-SNA PSHOT

C:\>set Path = %Path%;%M2_HOME%\bin

C:\>echo %M2_HOME% %M2_HOME%

C:\>set > env.txt

C:\>set PATH = %PATH%;%M2_HOME%\bin

C:\>set > env.txt

C:\>set JAVA_HOME = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0"

C:\>set PATH = %PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

C:\>set > env.txt
