Hi,
I found a problem when building the project with a apache-maven-3.4.0-SNAPSHOT:
mvn -version:
Apache Maven 3.4.0-SNAPSHOT (a2249ce21ca1e5f28858422c3018153b8eba4d3a; 2016-08-18T17:35:14-03:00)
Maven home: C:\productos\apache-maven-3.4.0-SNAPSHOT\bin..
Java version: 1.8.0_66, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\jre
Default locale: es_AR, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "Windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "Windows"

The problem is that some tests are interpolating from environment variables using ${HOME} and ${env.HOME} but this environment variable is not defined any longer inside maven 3.4.0-SNAPSHOT mvn.cmd file.
see this commit

Setting the variable inside the mvn.cmd file corrects the problem:
if "%HOME%" == "" (set "HOME=%USERPROFILE%")
however I don't know if this is a bug or a feature in maven 3.4.0.

Should we change the tests to a different env var?
WDYT?
Gabriel
