where is default.properties?

I am trying to change the location of the local
repository so that everyone in our group could use the
same repo...

The FAQ points me to a default.properties file , but
there is no such file in maven.
I do not want to have to create a default.properties
file in every project...

Is this where the default.properties file goes, or is
there another location?
Thanks.

Re: where is default.properties?

Hello
You have to create a build.properties files that you put in your home 
directory (/home/whatever under unix, Document And Settings/whatever under
Window$).
That will become the default for you only but for ALL your Maven projects.
Otherwise, if you want to share a common set of properties for a 
specific project and between all project members, you create a 
project.properties file and put it in the basedir of your project.

This process is described in details in the Maven User guide available 
online on maven home site.

Hope it helps.
Eric.
