mvn -version not working in TFS - maven

I have TFS 2012 R2 server as TFS build machine. I a using TFS 2015.2 version. I need to use maven command. I have set path for maven and Java and also updated it in path variable also. I am able to execute maven command in powershell in the server (build machine).
But when I try to execute the same in TFS build definition using powershell inline plugin, it throws me error that mvn is not a recognized command. And when I enter the full path of maven, then it does not fetch me any output.
When I give:
mvn -version
I get following error:
The term 'mvn' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
When I give:
C:\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\mvn -version
It gives no output
I am not sure, what am I doing wrong. It works well when I execute this directly in server but fails in TFS.

I realised the missing part in it. This is running in poweshell in windows server. In "C:\apacahe-maven-3.3.9\bin" path, there are two "mnv" files. One is mvn.cmd and other is mvn. I was using mvn all this time and it wasn't giving any response. When I use "mvn.cmd", its working fine now.

Multiple maven install commands in Linux

I am running an azure pipeline for a maven project which has windows commands for maven installation, by calling multiple methods i.e.,
call mvn ... clean install
call mvn ... clean package (authentication)
call mvn ... clean package (restapi)
The build environment is linux Hence I am converting all the commands in the batch file to sh commands. For maven installation I initially added a maven installation task by mentioning the path and commands in the task. This failed.
So I am currently changing the windows commands to sh commands. The other commands except for maven installation have been converted using a batch to sh commands reference article.
Could some one guide me to convert the above mentioned installation commands to sh commands?
If the Apache Maven has been installed and added to the system path on the agent machine where your pipeline runs, you can just try directly calling the mvn command in the bash script, like you call it on Windows.
For example:
mvn ... clean install
mvn ... clean package (authentication)
mvn ... clean package (restapi)
Before you execute the bash script in the pipeline, you firstly should try and debug it on your local machine to make sure it can work as expected on the local machine. Then move the bash script to the pipeline on Azure DevOps.
If the bash script runs failed in the pipeline, for us to investigate this issue further, please share us with the complete debug logs of the failed pipeline run. To get the debug logs, you need to set the pipeline variable System.Debug to true, then trigger the pipeline.

sonar-runner.bat JAVA_HOME doesn't point to a valid Java home

I would like to analyse a simple java project for testing sonarQube installation.
However when i run sonar-runner. bat i have this error.
It seems that your Java installation is not correct. You should test the value of JAVA_HOME variable by executing Get-Item Env:JAVA_HOME in PowerShell and verify that it points to a valid Java installation.
Alternatively, you can download sonar-scanner for Windows which already includes Java runtime.

Apache Maven is not configured properly into System vairable

I have latest version of Apache Maven 3.3.9 residing in my drive downloaded from here. I need it for configuring Appium tool to perform automated testing of Android applications. I have Maven plugin already configured with my Eclipse IDE. I went through few articles and got to know that I have to configure Maven into system variables as well. I set system variables, path for it as below.
M2HOME = C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.9
M2 = %M2HOME%\bin
path = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31\bin;%M2%
I tried running mvn , mvn -version from cmd prompt to check successful configuration of Maven but it gave me nothing. I tried navigating to the bin folder and re run the command but still the result is same. I even changed my path variable to have absolute path of Apache Maven i.e path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin
To be further sure I copied the Apache Maven to a different folder just because it had spaces in between Program Files and Program Files (x86) but still the command prompt is as below:
I had followed above steps referring various articles in google. I'm not getting if I have committed any unseen mistake.
P.S: I have even tried above commands with cmd running as an administrator
Try mvn --version (with two dashes). mvn -v should also work. If Maven is not being executed at all, I suggest you try mvn.bat.
Some Command Prompt configurations will refuse to run .bat-files without the extension unless you explicitly tell them to.
It's probably a good idea to run where mvn in your Command Prompt as well. You should get this:
<YOUR_MAVEN_HOME>\bin\mvn
<YOUR_MAVEN_HOME>\bin\mvn.bat
<YOUR_MAVEN_HOME>\bin\mvn.cmd
if everything it set up correctly.
You should define M2_HOME variable. (Not M2HOME). Make sure it looks like this:
You said that you copied your maven to the location without spaces. That's a good idea. But it looks like your Path system variable points to the old location of maven. Make sure to change it. (What is the current location of maven?)
BTW mvn -version works as well as mvn --version

Couldn’t find any executable in apache-maven-3.3.3

I have a windows jenkins slave and I have download apache-maven-3.3.3 on it.
It is located C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3 This is copy and pasted from the windows explorer on my Windows slave.
Then when I point at this location in Jenkins and run a build. I get this error
Couldn’t find any executable in C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3
I have also tried Couldn’t find any executable in C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3\bin
This works just fine on my linux slaves. What is the difference? Why is this not working?
Maven changed the name of the executable in Maven 3.3 from mvn.bat to mvn.cmd. Jenkins recognized mvn.cmd since Jenkins 1.613 (see this commit). If you are on an earlier Jenkins version you can add a symlink from mvn.bat to mvn.cmd on windows as a workaround.
The executable is in the \bin folder (namely, mvn.bat). Try to point Jenkins to C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3\bin
First
Under your Windows machine
1. create an Environment Virable named MAVEN_HOME and set its value to C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3.
2. Add %MAVEN_HOME%\bin into your System PATH
Second
Go to
http://your-jenkins-server/computer/your-windows-slave/configure -->Node Properties-->Tool Locations-->(Maven)maven
and set its value to C:\Users\myUsername\Desktop\apache-maven-3.3.3 as well.
Third
Reconnect your jenkins slave, then rerun your job.
Well for me it was wrong setting for maven. Go to configure, under post build action, go to advanced setting and there fix the Maven version to be used, i changed it to maven 3.3.3 and it worked.
I am using Windows. The accepted answers does not work for me. So, I have to create a new Maven in Jenkins and select the option "Install automatically". Then it works.

Maven not recognized in Jenkins

I have installed Tomcat 7 on Windows 8, on which Jenkins is deployed. I configured the JDK, Ant and Maven in the Jenkin settings. In the Maven section, I gave a name as LocalMaven and the MAVEN_HOME as C:\Techie\apache-maven. When I did a test build, it gave me the following error that the mvn.bat is not recognized. Then I checked by entering mvn command in CMD. It gave some maven statements, which means maven is available in the PATH variables.
After googling, I changed the MAVEN_HOME as **%M2_HOME%\bin** in Jenkin-Maven configuration. Still it did not work.
LOG:
[workspace] $ cmd.exe /C '"mvn.bat -f HighScoresServiceClient compile && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%"'
'mvn.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file
Build step 'Invoke top-level Maven targets' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
Edited: Added the analysis
The command executed by Jenkins is [workspace] $ cmd.exe /C '"mvn.bat -f String-replacer compile && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%"' where mvn.bat is not a valid command and so Jenkins errors out as follows that 'mvn.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, I think Jenkins should call the command as mvn and not mvn.bat. Can some experts correct me if I am wrong? Please let me know how to change this behaviour if I am right.
Edited: Attached the Configuration
I suppose your Tomcat server is running as a Windows service.
Did you create your MAVEN_HOME and M2_HOME as system environment variables? (idem for your PATH)
Another solution is to configure your variables in the apache-tomcat/bin/setenv.bat file:
set MAVEN_HOME=C:\Techie\apache-maven
set PATH=%MAVEN_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
I bet you've installed Maven 3.3 that has mvn.bat renamed to mvn.cmd
There is a report on this issue in Jenkins JIRA: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-27525
