Would you make a trivial update to your front page docs for installation under Cygwin? Out of the box $M2_HOME
will be a Windows-path, not a Unix one, which causes tar some grief.
tar zxvf /home/Brian/profile/Downloads/maven-color-logback-1.3-bundle.tar.gz -C $(cygpath $M2_HOME)
Use cygpath
to turn (for example) c:\lib\apache-maven-3.3.9
into /cygpath/c/lib/apache-maven-3.3.9
.

I have moved instructions into the wiki and add a note about cygwin.
Feel free to to edit them if they're not clear enough!
Thanks.
