 Note that Maven uses the `user.home` system property for the location of the Maven local repository: `${user.home}/.m2/repository`.
 Under Windows this system property is `C:\Documents and Settings\{user}` no matter what the `HOME` variable is set to. As a workaround you may set the system property by adding `-Duser.home=%HOME%` to the environment variable `MAVEN_OPTS`.
