Description

Installing and managing Maven versions could be made much easier with GVM. GVM works great for managing Groovy, Grails, and Gradle versions. As far as I know there is no technical reason it couldn't install and manage Maven as well.

The GVM developers have no plans to add support for 'maven', but they may accept a contribution. In the meantime I'm using Homebrew on Mac OS X, but GVM would be much nicer.
