Answer 1

You can use Maven Version Manager to manage multiple versions of maven. You can have a folder-specific maven version.

Steps

1. If you already installed the maven brew formula uninstall it brew remove --force maven
2. Install mvnvm. brew install mvnvm
3. To set the global maven version add an environment variable named DEFAULT_MVN_VERSION with the maven version you want as default as the value.
4. To set a Maven version for a specific folder create a file named mvnvm.properties in that folder and have the following content.

   mvn_version=<maven version for the folder>
