Hello, you can try to set "MAVEN_BATCH_ECHO=ON" and "MAVEN_SKIP_RC=On" to see the commands the batch are executing and make sure you have no old config laying around.
What is your JAVA_HOME actually set to? Does it end in a \? I suspect it is related to the new .mvn\ directory handling. It should be visible if you enable command echos. Paste the output to some pastebin where you can show it. Do you have any .mvn\ directories? What does "where java" and "where mvn" tell you (outside the directories where it works).
