Adding ${user.home} to the classpath

[Ciaran Treanor <ci...@capetechnologies.com>]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell Maven to add
${user.home} to it's classpath. The reason I ask is that
I have a custom log4j.properties and a hibernate.properties
in my home directory for unit testing purposes and I'd
like Maven to add ${user.home} to the classpath so that
these files are found when running nightly builds.

Is there any way of adding ${user.home} to the classpath?
Maybe in maven.xml?

Thanks a million,
ct
