I had the same issue - error JAVA_HOME not defined correctly. Please remove the backslash('') and semicolon.
For windows 10, here are the steps:
Open Environment Variables
Select 'JAVA_HOME' under system variables
Click Edit
Remove the ; from the path under the 'variable name'.
Click 'OK'
Done. RUN the mvn -version command and it shall work.Free tutorials and interview questions from industry experts — learn the skill, then get ready to prove it.
