Issue
I have maven 3.3.1 and java 1.7 installed on my machine, windows 8.1.
MAVEN_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.1
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75
Path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin;%MAVEN_HOME%\bin;
I've tried to access mvn command line, under C:\Users\{myusername}>, it works well:
C:\Users\{myusername}>java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)
C:\Users\{myusername}>mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.3.1 (cab6659f9874fa96462afef40fcf6bc033d58c1c; 2015-03-13T13:10:2

Maven home: C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.1\bin\..
Java version: 1.7.0_75, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: GBK
OS name: "windows 8.1", version: "6.3", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"
But when I change the command path to D:, another disk in my machine, the output becomes:
D:\>mvn --version

or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]

D:\>java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)
Besides, when I use Intellij to create maven project, just like quickstart, the similar error happened:
-Dmaven.multiModuleProjectDirectory system propery is not set. Check $M2_HOME environment variable and mvn script match.[ERROR] Maven execution terminated abnormally (exit code 1)
I've tried like mvn -version, mvn -d. But they still do not work. Could anyone please help? Thanks!!
Updated: Now my environment variables is set to:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_75;
CLASSPATH=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;
M2_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.1;
MAVEN_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.3.1;
PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;{others...}
And the problem still exists.
Updated:
Whenever I type after mvn command in D: path, the command line will just return java hint; it seems all the things after mvn are ignored. Just like this:
D:\>mvn fewadsfe
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)

Solution
I had the same issue with Maven 3.3.1 but when I tried version 3.2.5 the problem fixed. I don't know what's wrong with windows 7/8 and maven 3.3.1.
