Installing Maven %HOME%
In this article just under the warning,
http://maven.apache.org/start/install.html
the directions say,
For Windows:
%MAVEN_HOME%\bin\install_repo.bat %HOME%\.maven\repository
I understand %MAVEN_HOME% but I do not understand %HOME%.
Exactly what are they referring to and should I set an Environment variable called HOME and if so what should it point to? Thanks.

open a command window and just type
set
and you'll see the whole pile of environment variables.
I advise against using any directories in maven that contain spaces,
such as "Documents And Settings". While they're convenient for we
humans, some jelly scripts tokenize on white space and things can get
confused.
I put it in C:\mavenrepository so that I can open an explorer folder and
grab it right off the top, instead of having to descend into
subdirectories to get at them -- as well as being able to share it with
all other users who log into the system.

Not necessarily. %HOME% is not necessarily one of the above. Maven will
create your local repo for you automatically.

Nope.
Maven doesn't use your CLASSPATH. Which installer did you use?

Alright I think you are talking about these environment variables:
ALLUSERSPROFILE for All Users or for me as the Adminstrator:
USERPROFILE
%HOME% equals one of the above?
Is that correct? I would make a repository folder under C:\Documents and Settings\%profile% and then that's that?
This is the weirdest install I have ever done. All I have is \maven\bin in the path. Shouldn't I put something from maven in my classpath?

%HOME% is your windows user account home.
If you want to share your repository, do not put it in any one person's
home directory, I use
C:\mavenrepository
and everybody on the system has access.
