title: How to use Eclipse embedded Maven installation from the command line?
body: <p>I am using STS (the Eclipse version for Spring) and it use the Maven plugin. It works fine but this Maven version is embedded into Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Now I have to use it from the shell (the DOS prompt). If I try to perfrom thje <strong>mvn clean</strong> statment I obtain this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Andrea\Documents\workspaces\Real-Time\ud381\lesson1\stage1&gt;mvn
  "mvn" non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
   un programma eseguibile o un file batch.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is in Italian languange and it simply say that it can't find an internal or external <strong>mvn</strong> command.</p>
  
  <p>So I think that I have to add it to the <strong>PATH</strong> environment Windows variable so I will can use it inside the command prompt.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I can't find where is this embedded Maven installation.</p>
  
  <p>Where can I find it?</p>
