If you want to run mvn from the cmd.exe you must:

1) Download maven (https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi)

2) Add it to your Path and configure JAVA_HOME (see: https://maven.apache.org/install.html)

3) Navigate to the root directory of your project (in cmd.exe)

4) Run mvn (and any of the options like clean or install etc)

5) Then you can run "mvn . . . . . something"

Hope you have m2eclipse installed.

Right click on project directory in Eclipse > Run As > Run Configurations... > Double click Maven Build > fill in name, select base directory of the project, provide goal (e.g. clean install), provide profile that you want to build (leave blank for default, else profile names space separated) > check options if any like (offline for -o etc) > click run

this will be available in your menu bar for future usage.
