title: maven ${user.home} not being resolved correctly
body: <p>I've got the following line in my pom.xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;updateRepositoryURL&gt;file:/${user.home}/.m2/repository/repository.xml&lt;/updateRepositoryURL&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and when I am attempting to use it within my program the resultant string is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>file:/c:Documents and Settings&lt;myusername&gt;/.m2/repository/repository.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>&lt;myusername&gt;</code> is my user name funnily enough.</p>
  
  <p>however it should be </p>
  
  <pre><code>file:/c:/Documents and Settings/&lt;myusername&gt;/.m2/repository/repository.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone out there have any ideas as to why it is not resolving properly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
