Error trying to grab a dependency available in local m2 repo when using the default Ivy settings file provided by Groovy

the default Ivy settings file used is:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/183b8fbf0248a2dceffbba684e50c3c2c060e46c/src/resources/groovy/grape/defaultGrapeConfig.xml#L29

it contains:

<ibiblio name="localm2" root="file:${user.home}/.m2/repository/"

which leads to this kind of error on windows when the file is available in the local m2 repo:
