Re: [m2e-users] m2e addicted to ~/.m2

[Fred Bricon <fbricon@xxxxxxxxx>]

m2e uses an Embedded Maven version. It has no knowledge of any existing maven installation (you could use m2e without installing maven locally)
So you need to tell m2e explicitely what global configuration it must use. Go to Window > Preferences > Maven > Installations > Global settings

I've been trying for over an hour to get m2e stop using ~/.m2 as my local repository.

In my global settings.xml file I have

<localRepository>C:/Program Files (Open)/maven/.m2</localRepository>

I do not have any ~/.m2/settings.xml, so I am assuming it should default to the global settings. It certainly is reading the global settings.

And sure enough in Eclipse C:/Program Files (Open)/maven/.m2 shows up as my local repository. But for some reason whenever I build something it puts everything in ~/.m2, and when I do an install it puts everything there too.

It is also putting stuff in C:/Program Files (Open)/maven/.m2 as well, but it seems to be rather schizophrenic about where the actual local repository is. Is there any way I can convince m2e to not use ~/.m2 and obey the global settings.xml?

Cheers, Eric
