Apache have changed the download archive URLs

[Kenny MacLeod]

mvnvm looks in http://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/binaries/ to locate the binaries of maven to download. However, the last version of maven that was put there was 3.2.3.

It looks like Apache have changed the directory structure of their archives as of version 3.2.4. mvnvm will need updating to look for newer versions in the correct places.

For example, 3.2.5 is available at http://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.2.5/binaries/

I have always wondered why Apache are assholes and don't provide a download script that you can provide an artifact + version and it redirects you to a mirror

If you look at Homebrew source, it does some weirdo stuff to download from Apache mirrors

better yet, the /maven-2/ archive only contains mavens 2.0.x and 2.2.x, not 2.1.x, which is still in the old archive
it's hilarious

Yep, turns out I was running an old, pre-homebrew version of mvnvm. Reinstalled from homebrew, and now it's fine.
