What is "${env.M2_HOME}" and how do I set it?

I'm getting this error when trying to do a maven build:

[INFO] An Ant BuildException has occured: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\[[project]]\build.xml:17:
 settingsFile does not exist: C:\[[project]]\${env.M2_HOME}\conf\settings.xml

Is this the same as M2.HOME? How do I set it when I don't have access to environment variables due to silly IT security policies in my company? Is it possible to set it within the project using IntelliJ IDEA?

It's the M2_HOME environment variable.

export M2_HOME=/path/to/maven

Or since you're on Windows (sorry):

set M2_HOME=c:/path/to/maven
