maven2: maven invoker plugin cant find mvn command

[Manfred Moser]

Package: maven2
Version: 2.0.8-4
Severity: normal


When using the maven invoker plugin in a build together with the debian
maven package it bombs out with a nullpointerexception. The invoker
plugin assumes that it can find the mvn command in M2_HOME/bin. This is
not the case with the debian package. 

I have filed a JIRA issue against the invoker plugin here
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINVOKER-28

However this problem might affect other plugins as well. I would suggest
to create symlinks to the mvn command in the /usr/share/maven2/bin to
the /usr/bin/mvn and any other files that live in the bin folder in the
apache package and have been moved. 

Just in terms of system info. I am using the debian package from testing
on Ubuntu...
