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-3.2.x-SNAPSHOT

Then, run Ant:

ant

Once the build completes, you should have a new Maven distro ready to roll in your $M2_HOME directory!
