Since Lion 10.7.1 10.6.8 MacOSx Snow Leopard (correct me if wrong), Mac OS X comes with Apache Maven 3 built in, and can be located at /usr/share/maven

What I want to do is to force Maven to download the 'maven-metadata.xml' for each artifact that I have in my local repository. The default Maven behaviour is to download only metadata from remote repositories (see this question). Why I want to do that: Currently I have a remote repository running in a build machine.

1. Maven Built-In

To verify the Maven installation, in terminal, issue the command mvn -version.

1.1 – Where is Maven installed?
A quick check with whereis command :

By default, Maven is installed at /usr/share/maven. No configuration is needed.

2. Install Maven Manually

After the upgrade of Mac OS X Mavericks, Maven was removed (no idea why). So, You have to install it manually.

2.1 – Download Maven
Download the Maven, for example apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz. Extracts it,

2.2 – Set Maven command in environment variable.
Update ~/. bash_profile – create this file if doesn’t exist.

Restart the terminal. Test it.

3. Post Configuration

A common post-installation for Maven, change the local repository to another location.

Above example changed the default repository from ~/.m2/repository to /Users/mkyong//maven/repo/.
