Description _ gtzabari 2017-04-28 14:54:54 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201704270002)
Java: 1.8.0_131; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.131-b11
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_131-b11
System: Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb)
User directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\dev
Cache directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\dev

When the Maven installation directory is incorrect, or points to a Maven installation that has been deleted, users see the following error:

cd C:\Users\Gili\Documents\holdmyspot\realestate\backend; "JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_131" "M2_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-3.3.9" cmd /c "\"\"C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-3.3.9\\bin\\mvn.bat\" -Dsun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders=true -Dmaven.ext.class.path=\"C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans Dev 201704270002\\java\\maven-nblib\\netbeans-eventspy.jar\" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 test\""
The system cannot find the path specified.

Expected behavior: Netbeans should clarify that "The system cannot find the path specified." means that the Maven installation directory needs to be updated.
