That actually explains the problem I guess..
I googled and found this:

Quote: "There's a really annoying
bug<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4787931>in the
Java virtual machine on Windows: the Java
*user.home* system property is based on the location of the Windows Desktop
folder not the Windows USERPROFILE variable."

So I tried
set MAVEN_OPTS -Duser.home="%USERPROFILE%"

But that does not seem to work yet. Note, I tried it both with and without
the ""
It is still pointing to c:\WinNT\.m2

maven doesn't use %userprofile% but the java system property user.home

I don't know if this property is mapped to %USERPROFILE% or %HOMEPATH%
