> The shell script mvn in the bin directory of maven does various tricks with the variable M2_HOME but before the last line (the JAVACMD) is executed, the value of M2_HOME contains the Windows-style path to maven.
> One of the arguments to java.exe is:
> {noformat}-classpath "${M2_HOME}"/boot/plexus-classworlds-*.jar{noformat}
> The resolving of the asterisk is still done by the cygwin bash,
> and since M2_HOME is windows-style at that time,
> cygwin generates the following warning:
> {noformat}
> cygwin warning:
>   MS-DOS style path detected: D:\apps\apache-maven-3.1.1/boot/
>   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/d/apps/apache-maven-3.1.1/boot/
>   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
>   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
>     http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
> {noformat}
> This can be fixed quite easily - attached please find my proposal.
