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.
