Description Tim Broberg 2011-10-03 16:38:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

 yum shows the maven version as 3.x, but 2.x actually installs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "sudo yum info maven" shows version 3
2. "sudo yum install maven" to install. Note that maven2 package installs
3. "mvn -v" shows version 2.
  
Actual results:
 mvn -v shows version 2

Expected results:
 mvn -v shows version 3

Additional info:
 I manually downloaded and install mvn from apache, so it's somewhat painful to reproduce this currently on my system.
Comment 1 Stanislav Ochotnicky 2011-10-05 07:36:45 UTC 
I know this is confusing but there are two packages maven and maven2. Maven contains maven 3.x and maven2 contains maven 2.x.

You can start maven 3.x by using mvn3 binary/script. This is partially fixed in F16 already (maven2 will not be installed when you install maven). Full fix where mvn will point to maven3 will be in F16.
