no maven home available

I have a strange problem with Netbeans 7/8 on Windows 7, no matter how often i reinstall Netbeans I can't choose between Maven installations / home neighter do I see any Maven Home Option in the Dropdown (Tools -> Options -> Java -> Maven)

I found the installation path of the embedded Maven inside the netbeans installation path and I edited the settings.xml so i can use the embedded Maven.

But I need more than one Maven installations! Please Help!!!

Not sure why this happens. IDE's log would be handy. Also some more detailed information about how you are installing. For sure manually tweaking settings.xml is not the way to go I guess.  Re-assigning to appropriate component for evaluation. Thank you
Comment 2 Tomas Stupka 2014-11-27 11:42:08 UTC 
there should be a "browse..." in the options > java > maven > Maven Home dropdown. Choose that to provide a path the your mvn executables or reopen and attach a screenshot of option > java > maven to this issue.

thanks
Comment 3 KraushLu 2014-11-27 12:51:22 UTC 
there is no "browse..." near the Maven Home dropdown.
@Tomas Stupka: i already added an image with my option > java > maven

@KraushLu

You need to check PATH environment variable also. If you have there smth like that: *;bin;* in this variable, then remove it, unless you'll got a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException while opening Dropdown.
Comment 8 KraushLu 2015-02-11 09:35:06 UTC 
awsome! this was the problem! now it's working.

but is it possible to filter for *;bin;* to prevent this issue?
