with ${maven.home}, you can have your use case
for other options:
- POM is a nonsense to me
- WORKINGDIRECTORY too: notice that it can be done with ${user.dir}, if you
really want to
the more I'm thinking at this, the more I'm convinced we should not accept
relative path at all: with java system properties, you already have a lot of
choice (user.home, user.dir, maven.home). And if you really want something
more flexible, just define a convention in your organization to set an
environment variable that is required
but adding a feature to Maven for that is an anti-pattern IMHO
Just for the record, if you provide a patch, please have a look at code
conventions [1], and IDE configurations to have them directly done by your IDE
