Testing for installed Apache Maven

i found this question (Correct way to check Java version from BASH script). I am unsure how to do the same for Apache maven. I have to make sure for an installation script that at least version 3.1.1 of Maven is installed.

You need to do it that way, cause prerequisites is deprecated with Maven 3.

  <!-- The following is marked as deprecated with Maven 3. so using maven-enforcer-plugin instead. -->
  <!--  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4840 -->
  <!--  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5297 -->
  <prerequisites>
    <maven>${mavenVersion}</maven>
  </prerequisites>
  (...)
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.1</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>enforce-maven</id>
        <goals>
          <goal>enforce</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <rules>
            <requireMavenVersion>
              <version>${mavenVersion}</version>
            </requireMavenVersion>
          </rules>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

Maven has a feature to declare minimum maven version in the POM itself. You don't need to add any other check after you add this to your POM:

<prerequisites>
    <maven>3.1.1</maven>
</prerequisites>

See Prerequisites in maven documentation.
