Environment variable MAVEN_HOME does not need to be specified (v3.5 ~)

Starting with maven version 3.5, you no longer have to specify the environment variable MAVEN_HOME during installation. This is because it has been modified so that the folder where maven is installed can be determined in the script at runtime.

Some sites in the world say that MAVEN_HOME, M2_HOME, MVN_HOME (?), Etc. are required, but in v3.5 or later, JAVA_HOME is the only environment variable that must be specified.
