Description

Maven 3 uses the M2 environment variable. Surely it would be more reasonable to update this to M3 to allow sensible migration. e.g

M2=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1\bin
M2_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-2.2.1

M3=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.1.1\bin
M3_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-maven-3.1.1

MAVEN=%M2% or MAVEN=%M3%

PATH=%MAVEN%;%PATH%
