Description johnsonlau 2010-10-26 16:42:51 UTC
Maven's startup script (mvn/mvn.bat) uses M2_HOME as the default HOME directory when specified.

It causes NoClassDefFoundError when startup script's major version doesn't consist with the one of default Maven directory, as the filename of the bootstrap jar has been changed since Maven 2.2.1 (classworlds-1.1.jar) to Maven 3 (plexus-classworlds-2.2.3.jar).

Clearly, it will stop NB's upcoming version from calling Maven when user still keeps this environment variable for some reason since NB will come with the latest Maven 3.

M2_HOME should be exclused when NB calls Maven's startup script.

Remove M2_HOME from mvn's executing environment

Consider Windows is case-insensitive, removes M2_HOME in an iteration and regarding cases.
