Description

It took me a while to figure this one out:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ${maven.home} is not specified as a directory: '/Cellar/maven/3.6.0/bin'.

Better message:

${maven.home} is set to '/Cellar/maven/3.6.0/bin' which does not exist

or perhaps

${maven.home} is set to '/Cellar/maven/3.6.0/bin' which is not a directory
