Thanks, Paul,

The wrapper script is somehow better in a multi-user environment because
it is common for all users, so they don't have to modify their own
~/.bash_profile. To sum up:
~/.bash_profile is good because it lets a user define his own settings
A common script is good because it lets all users on a system have the
same settings for maven, which is good if they ALL need the same settings.
Using some global initialization file, like /etc/bash/bashrc has the
same advantages as the common script file, but also has the advantage
that it sets the settings only once, and not every time mvn is executed.

My advantage was to change the mvn command
deciding on which place to
use.
You are right however that these methods overlap in the role of
defining variables!
In a multi-user-setup, the wrapper script is also more important.
Sorry for insist on this but, please, why is the wrapper script more
important in a multiuser setup? .bash_profile is setup in a per user
basis, so could it control Maven settings for each user using a given
box for developing? Thanks!
