Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-3930:
----------------------------------------
Extraced from MNG-3662 to separate the CLI issue from the interpolation issue.
Reposting my relevant comment:
The only problem I observed with the ampersand character was in the batch files
launching Maven, more precisely in
{noformat}
@REM set %HOME% to equivalent of $HOME
if "%HOME%" == "" (set HOME=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%)
{noformat}
which causes something like "Jerry is not recognized as an internal or external
command" when executing the {{set}} command for the user name "Tom&Jerry".
As outlined in the [Windows Command Shell
Overview|http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/44500063-fdaf-4e4f-8dac-476c497a166f1033.mspx?mfr=true]
and [KB-103368|http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B103368], the
ampersand is a special character that needs escaping, e.g. by surrounding with
quots.
If you encounter other errors besides the one mentioned, please provide a full
debug log of Maven.
> mvn.bat doesn't handle ampersand in Windows user name properly

> Halo!
> Maven don't work when In Windows user has ampersand in the name for example
> username=Tom&Jerry. Windows allows usernames like this, but Maven treat
> ampersand in the name of users main folder as a part of some url (?) or
> something ... and cannot get path properly. Windows do not allow to change
> username with all user's foldernames.
