The problem
Hello, I have maven and Java installed at the specified path and my env fully set up like so: environment variables
With my path being : path
java -version runs perfectly but I constently get this error when typing any mvn command :
c:\Program Files\Java>mvn -version
Usage: java [options] <mainclass> [args...]

-version print product version to the error stream and exit
--version print product version to the output stream and exit
-showversion print product version to the error stream and continue
--show-version
print product version to the output stream and continue
--show-module-resolution

-? -h -help

c:\Program Files\Java>java -version
java version "17.0.7" 2023-04-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.7+8-LTS-224)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.7+8-LTS-224, mixed mode, sharing)
What I tried
I already tried changing java version, maven version, put java in a no-white-space path folder, I have installed maven at least 100 times by now and the same error persists.
With the same configuration in git bash I don't have any problem but it doesn't work in windows command prompt. mvn -version result in git bash
Trying launching the command directly from C:\Dev\Programmes\apache-maven-3.8.8\bin got the same results such as
%maven_home%\bin\mvn -version
The same configuration works perfectly fine on my other computer.
You should also notice that if maven wasn't correctly set it would probably give me the classic "'mvn' is not recognized", where I actually get "' ' is not recognized" which is really weird.
I really don't understand what is happening, but I really need to make it work in the windows cmd, and this just upset me so much, does anyone has a clue please ? :(
