I'm using the Indigo Release of eclipse. When I check Window -> Preferences, Maven -> Installations, it confirms that it's using the Embedded (3.0.2/...) installation of Maven.
I want to be able to run maven commands from the command line (Windows Powershell), but when I type, e.g.,
PS C:\> mvn
no executable is found. I did a search for "mvn.exe" and found no results.
I suppose I could install a stand-alone version of Maven 3 and add that to my PATH, but I'd prefer to be using the same Maven installation for command line tasks as well as IDE (eclipse) tasks.
So, where is the embedded maven's mvn.exe hiding?

There is no mvn.exe at all. The Maven distro comes with batch or shell scripts. Eclipse runs an embedded version which is called through an API.
An embedded version of the Maven known as the Maven Embedder is already specified. This is what is used to execute Maven inside of Eclipse. If you have another installation of Maven which you would like to use instead of the Maven Embedder, you can add another Maven runtime by clicking on the Add..
To run the maven project, select it and go to “Run As > Java Application”. In the next window, select the main class to execute. In this case, select the App class and click on the Ok button.
The simple answer is, cause it's embedded in Eclipse so you can't call it from console. If you like to do this you have to install Maven yourself.
