Thanks, this really saved me. I also did

export M2=brew --prefix maven/libexec/bin
export M2_HOME=brew --prefix maven/libexec

so that I could use maven in my open shell.

...and if like me you got
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Then you need to set JAVA_HOME (check you are using the correct JDK version in the command):
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_60.jdk/Contents/Home
