Unable to build on Windows because of failing META-INF/components.txt check

Steps to reproduce:
1. git checkout xwiki-platform-6.4.4 on a Windows OS command line
2. cd xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-search/xwiki-platform-search-lucene/xwiki-platform-lucene-api
3. mvn clean install

Output:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.2:compile (default-compile) on project xwiki-platform-search-lucene-api: Compilation failure
[ERROR] There's no [META-INF/components.txt] file and thus Component [com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.lucene.internal.rest.LuceneSearchSource] isn't declared! Consider adding a components.txt file or if it's normal use the "staticRegistration" parameter as in
@Component(staticRegistration = false)"

There must be some environment issues, but the existing file "src/main/resource/META-INF/components.txt" is not found and the build fails.

On a Linux OS, the above steps produce a successful build.

A workaround should be to use "-Didea.home.path=something" as in "mvn clean install -Didea.home.path=something" but seems to not work for some users.
