I have used apt-get install maven2 to install maven2.2.1. In order to compile hadoop 2.1.0 source program, I need to upgrade the maven version, but it is not able to use apt-get again, because maven2.1.0 is the latest in the lib.
I downloaded apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz from the official website, ran tar apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz at the path /usr/local, and put apache-maven links to apache-maven-3.0.5:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 8 11:26 apache-maven -> apache-maven-3.0.5
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Dec 8 11:12 apache-maven-3.0.5
export the order in the terminal like this:
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
input order "export" to identify :
.............................................
declare -x M2_HOME="/usr/local/apache-maven"
declare -x MANDATORY_PATH="/usr/share/gconf/ubuntu.mandatory.path"
declare -x OLDPWD="/usr"
declare -x PATH="/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/java/latest/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/apache-maven/bin"
All signs showed maven 3.0.5 has succeeded in configuration, but when I input
mvn -version
in the terminal, it show errors like this:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher
If I change a new terminal and input mvn -version, it shows:
administrator@ubuntu:~$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-8)
Java version: 1.7.0_45
Java home: /usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_45/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux" version: "3.5.0-17-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix"
It happens every time although I had uninstalled maven 2.2.1 by running:
sudo apt-get remove --purge maven
I do not know why? I have not uninstalled it completely?
