+mvn.bat --encrypt-master-password a!$%^b
++----+
+
+ whereas the following will work on Windows:
+
++----+
+mvn.bat --encrypt-master-password "a!$%^b"
++----+

above
+ master password otherwise you will be astonished that the usage of the
master-password
+ will not work (caused by the dollar sign and furthermore the exclamation
mark).
