Robert Scholte commented on MNG-5569:
-------------------------------------
That's not a Maven question, but a Windows OS question.
try to do the following:
{noformat}
C:\>set MAVEN_BATCH_ECHO=on
C:\>mvn -v
{noformat}
When the quotes are placed on the wrong spots, you can't execute Maven (or any
program through commandline)
> JAVA_HOME "Program Files (x86)" gives error

> _as_ a programmer with a Windows 7 64-bits OS,
> _I want_ Maven to work with a JAVA_HOME path containing "c:\Program Files
> (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_45",
> _so that_ I do not get a wierd error like "Files not expected at this time"
> * Unzip maven-3.1.1.zip in a folder like "d:\data\maven-3.1.1"
> * Install JDK at "c:\Program Files (x86)\Java"
> * set JAVA_HOME accordingly"
> * enter "mvn --version"
> ** _result_: an error "Files not expected at this time"
> ** _expected_: maven returning the version details
> * Copy JDK to an other directory, like "d:\data\Java\jdk1.6.0_45"
> * set JAVA_HOME accordingly
> ** _result_: maven returning the version details
> ** _conclusion_: maven does not like "c:\Program Files (x86)\Java"
