---------------------------------

             Summary: mvn start script causes cygwin warning
                 Key: MNG-5538
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5538
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Command Line
    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
         Environment: windows 7 64bit, cygwin 1.7.25, mvn 3.1.1
            Reporter: Martin Vavra
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: mvn.fixed, mvn.orig

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:
  -classpath "${M2_HOME}"/boot/plexus-classworlds-*.jar

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:

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:

This can be fixed quite easily - attached please find my proposal.
