I had the same issue - error JAVA_HOME not defined correctly. Please remove the backslash('') and semicolon.

For windows 10, here are the steps:

Open Environment Variables

Select 'JAVA_HOME' under system variables

Click Edit

Remove the ; from the path under the 'variable name'.

Click 'OK'

Done. RUN the mvn -version command and it shall work.
