Thanks to everyone. Downgrading to Maven 3.2.5 resolved the issue.

We almost always use it from inside Eclipse/STS so that adds a layer of protection (or obscurity). In the Eclipse preferences, we do override the Eclipse built-in Maven installation location with the location of the one (latest) that we download and install separately. From your comment, it could be that Eclipse overrides the Widows definition of MAVEN_HOME with its Maven settings. Thanks for the clarification. Still learning something new every day!
