Re: [Maven 2.2.1] localRepository to be defined as a relative path?

[Sajith Kariyawasam <sa...@gmail.com>]

I was able to tackle the issue finally, please find my observations..

-Dmaven.repo.local="path" option is supported in both Maven 2.2.1  and
3.0.x , but in a different way ..

In maven 2.2.1 if you give the value as
-Dmaven.repo.local=../../../repository,
it can't find the mentioned path, so it assumes the repo at the root
location (in Windows its C:\ and in Linux its "/" )

But it was not the case with 3.x, where if you have
-Dmaven.repo.local=../../../repository,
it successfully able to find the repository available in that location.

So in order to get that working with 2.2.1, I had to modify it as follows..
                             -Dmaven.repo.local=${basedir}../../../repository
(or if you give the full path there, it works..but in my case the full path
is dynamic, and depends on the project location)

Thanks
Sajith
