Description

This issue shows up at 1.9.5 with the following stack trace

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.maven.scm.plugin.BootstrapMojo.runGoals(BootstrapMojo.java:123)
at org.apache.maven.scm.plugin.BootstrapMojo.execute(BootstrapMojo.java:94)
at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:134)

Looking into debug log. Looks like mavenHome is set to null which should be "" instead ( ie defaultValue="" does not work??? )
