Maven is available under the The Apache Software License, Version 2.0
If you want to bootstrap Maven you'll need:
- Java 1.6+
- Ant 1.8 or later
First, give Ant a location into which the completed Maven distro should be installed:
export M2_HOME=$HOME/apps/maven/apache-maven-3.0-SNAPSHOT
Then, run Ant:
ant
Once the build completes, you should have a new Maven distro ready to roll in your $M2_HOME directory!
