Changing home environment variable in eclipse

I know this is a simple question but I have never done this before can someone help me out set up a home environment for eclipse. The reason I am doing this is because I am trying to implement one of maven projects and I keep getting the same error saying it can't find the jar.

Here is the message:

The environmental variable HOME is not set. The following directory will be used for storing the Git user configuration and as a default repository location: S:/. If this is not correct please set the HOME environment variable and restart Eclipse.

Setting up the Home Directory on Windows

Add the environment variable HOME to your environment variables.

 1. In Windows 7, type "environment" at the start menu        
 2. Select "Edit environment variables for your account"
 3. Click the "New" button.
 4. Enter "HOME" in the name field
 5. Enter "%USERPROFILE%" or some other path in the value field.
 6. Click OK, and OK again. You have just added the Home directory on Windows.

e.g. C:\Users\Tom where tom is the %USERPROFILE%

Note: All letters are case sensitive so c:\users\tom and C:\Users\Tom are totally different in Windows.
