If you are on a linux/unix platform you should use single quotes for the

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

+** Prompting for Password
+
+ In Maven before version 3.2.1 you have to give the password on command line
which
+ means you might need to escape your password etc. and might cause problems
+ related to the history funcitonality of your command line processor.
+
+ Starting with Maven 3.2.1 the password is an optional argument which means
if you omit
+ the password you will be prompted for the password which can prevent many
problems
+ with escaping the password and history issues as well.
+
+ So we strongly recomment to use Maven 3.2.1 and above to prevent problems
with
+ escaping special characters and of course security issues related to bash
+ history or environment issues in relationship with the password.
