Description

environmental variables used in .mvn/maven.config are not expanded out.

running
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/.m2/otherRepo
correctly creates and uses the local repo in /home/user/.m2/otherRepo

if the argument -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/.m2/otherRepo, is placed in the .mvn/maven.config file, then the local repo used is
current working directory/$HOME/.m2/otherRepo
