Get a better shell. ;-)
bash expands as follows:
dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ FOO=~/maven
dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ echo $FOO
/home/dlr/maven
dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ FOO="~/maven"
dlr@despot:xml-rpc$ echo $FOO
~/maven
If it's possible for ~ to get into Java-land, it might be worth
performing the transformation s/^~/${user.home}/ in Java code.
