Path to maven folder within STS Spring Tool Suite

I have downloaded STS 3.7.2 and would like to add the maven folder to the windows 8 classpaths. This way I would be able to use command line commands such as mvn spring-boot:run

But where do I find that one maven folder within the STS folder?

remember, in "STS", maven is not configured to work out of STS (and terminal usage is out of STS usage).
we have to install maven.
follow the following to setup maven to work from terminal.
 maven download link is here

  1. download latest maven from here
    extract it where ever you want.

    i extracted as below (see the bin,boot,conf,... folders are shown below as in the image):
  2. enter image description here

as this maven download is extracted from zip file (it is not setup), you will have to add this extracted path to "PATH" variable in windows environment. follow this to set environment path:
3. enter image description here

4. enter image description here

5. enter image description here

6. enter image description here

now "mvn" command must work.


7. in my case, i use STS
and i had to restart STS (spring tool suit) for "mvn" to work in terminal in sts

If I run the mvn command from the command line it runs

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\java.exe" -classpath "C:\opensource\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\..\boot\plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar" "-Dclassworlds.conf=C:\opensource\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\..\bin\m2.conf" "-Dmaven.home=C:\opensource\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\.." "-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory=C:\opensource\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin" org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher

plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar is found in the following STS directory

./sts-3.6.4.RELEASE/plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime_1.6.2.20150902-0001/jars/plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar

Having said that I think it would be far easier to just download the full maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi unzip it into any directory, then add the environment variable M2_HOME as ..../apache-maven-3.3.9 then add %M2_HOME%/bin to the path.

Hope this helps.
