brew install maven31 (if you have homebrew)

Answer 3

Open a TERMINAL window and check if you have it already installed.

Type:

$ mvn –version

And you should see:

Apache Maven 3.0.2 (r1056850; 2011-01-09 01:58:10+0100)
Java version: 1.6.0_24, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: “mac os x”, version: “10.6.7″, arch: “x86_64″, family: “mac”

If you don't have Maven installed already, then here is how to download and install maven, and configure environment variables on Mac OS X:

    M3_HOME=/opt/local/share/java/maven3 &&
    M2_HOME=/opt/local/share/java/maven3 &&

Answer 6

You can use Maven Version Manager through which you can use multiple version of Maven per directory base.

Installation

Using Homebrew brew install mvnvm

Without Homebrew mkdir -p ~/bin && curl -s https://bitbucket.org/mjensen/mvnvm/raw/master/mvn > ~/bin/mvn && chmod 0755 ~/bin/mvn and add ~/bin to path.

Usage

Default Version

To set default maven version set the environment variable DEFAULT_MVN_VERSION to the maven version to be used by default.

Maven version for the folder

Create a file named mvnvm.properties in the folder and configure the maven version as follows

mvn_version=<maven version>
