Maarten Mulders commented on MNG-7153:
--------------------------------------
According to [the documentation|https://maven.apache.org/configure.html], the
{{MAVEN_OPTS}} environment variable holds
{quote}parameters used to start up the JVM running Maven
{quote}
So the {{-V}} gets passed to the JVM rather than to Maven; the JVM does not
recognise that flag and hence exits.
Although not what you're looking for, the behaviour is expected as far as I can
tell.
