Maven still doesn't run after setting environment variables

here is what I have set in User Variables to run maven..

JAVA_HOME

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05

M2

%M2_HOME%\bin

M2_HOME

C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.0.4

MAVEN_OPTS

-Xms256m -Xmx512m

PATH

%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;

but still a mvn --version command gives my error. I followed the steps in their own website and still getting the error. Do you see anything wrong with what I posted above?

I made it work by restarting the command line tool, for doing this you have to start your CMD as administrator. Right click on CMD icon and select "Run as administrator"

On your place I would try this:

open command prompt (Start - Run - type "cmd") and type:

cd %M2_HOME%\bin
dir

make sure you see something like "mvn.exe" or "mvn.bat"

If "cd %M2_HOME%\bin" doesn't work, the something wrong with environment. (Ex: you logged in with different user). Try

echo %M2_HOME%

in command prompt.

PS: The better way to check environment is to type "set" in command prompt.

Have you restarted your command line window after PATH set up?
