• Maven 3.3.1 is installed on /apps/tools/distrib/apache-maven-3.3.1
• Maven 3.1.1 is installed on /apps/tools/distrib/apache-maven-3.1.1
• We have a symbolic link /apps/tools/distrib/maven -> /apps/tools/distrib/apache-maven-3.1.1
• We have added /apps/tools/distrib/maven/bin in $PATH OS environment variable
• On Jenkins we have configured a Maven installation (name : MAVEN, path : /apps/tools/distrib/apache-maven-3.3.1)
