Description
https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/windows-prerequisites.html says ...
You need to install the Java SDK (e.g. from Oracle's download site), and you should install it to a pathname without spaces, such as c:\j2se1.6.
... which is inconvenient if it's already installed, because that's not the default directory.
https://maven.apache.org/install.html says ...
- Check environment variable value e.g.
echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
... which contradicts the above.
One or other of these should be changed.
