I downloaded java extension pack and created java project using maven, but I could not test project. vscode said maven executable could not find in path

VSCode Maven extension doesn't include the Maven binaries.

You need to have a Maven distribution on your machine or a Maven Wrapper with your project

Thanks for reaching out @dongyang2333

Given the broadness of Java ecosystem, I see this an opportunity for us to provide the options in the installer, to help users install extra components like Maven, Gradle, etc...

This could be part of the next step of the installer. @yaojinyang

Hi @dongyang2333, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

Solution

• Install a standalone Maven distribution or use the Maven Wrapper:
  • Download Maven from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi, unzip it, and add the <maven_folder>/bin directory to your system PATH. Restart your terminal or VS Code.
  • Or generate your project with a Maven Archetype that includes mvnw/mvnw.cmd, then run ./mvnw install (or mvnw.cmd install on Windows) without needing a global Maven install.

Duplicate Issue
