Maven issue

[nishaatr]

When running a Maven step under RunAs, the step fails if a system property or environment variable has multi-line entry. Note: Maven passes system.* properties automatically to Maven.

Our failed build had three Nuget feeds defined in the system property and we got the following error:

Due to newlines in the property, Windows assumed it is a command and tried to run HTTP command (the Nuget feed start with http://feedurl). We resolved this by clearing the property in the build. We don't see this error when running without RunAs.
