Full error code:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher

This is the error I get when I try and do any mvn command after I installed maven using homebrew. I think the error may have to do with symlinks not being created properly since when I run:

which mvn

my result is: 

/usr/local/bin/mvn

also when I run: 

echo $M@2_HOME

I get:

/Users/USERNAME/apache-maven-3.3.9

which doesn't even seem to exist in my system. Any help would be appreciated

  • @AdamSmith funny enough, I tried only more complex solutions but it seems unset M2_HOME was all I needed. Thank you. – Will Suchanek Mar 23 '17 at 03:23

After trying more complex solutions @Pete in the first comment on the main post had my try

unset M2_HOME

and that did the trick.
