When running mvn -v or mvn -version I receive the following error:
Error: -classpath requires class path specification
However, I have followed the instruction as defined on both: https://www.oracle.com/uk/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk21-windows and https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
What is missing or misconfigured that could be causing this error?
