Overriding ${user.home} from profile

["Peschier J. (Jeroen)" <j....@nedasco.nl>]

I need to set ${user.home} to a different location based on profile. In
the profile below ${username} and ${password} propagate to the POM.
However, ${user.home} is not propagated with the value specified in the
profile. It keeps resolving to the home directory of the user running M2
instead of C:\some\path.


Relevant fragment from my settings.xml:

  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>default</id>
      <properties>
        <username>foo</username>
	  <password>bar</password>
	  <user.home>C:\some\path</user.home>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>default</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>


Should it work this way?

Hi Peschier,

I believe ${user.home} is a property propagated from the JRE, rather than
from maven. More than that - something looks "fishy" in such a use-case,
where you want to override the user's home dir....perhaps if you could
elaborate on your use case we can think of a better solution?
