Description
Halo!
Maven don't work when In Windows user has ampersand in the name for example username=Tom&Jerry. Windows allows usernames like this, but Maven treat ampersand in the name of users main folder as a part of some url 
or something ... and cannot get path properly. Windows do not allow to change username with all user's foldernames.

Extraced from
MNG-3662to separate the CLI issue from the interpolation issue. Reposting my relevant comment:The only problem I observed with the ampersand character was in the batch files launching Maven, more precisely in
which causes something like "Jerry is not recognized as an internal or external command" when executing the set command for the user name "Tom&Jerry".
As outlined in the Windows Command Shell Overview and KB-103368, the ampersand is a special character that needs escaping, e.g. by surrounding with quots.
If you encounter other errors besides the one mentioned, please provide a full debug log of Maven.
