Moving Repository
Hey,
I have a very large repository and would like to keep it (not start
over). Though, I would like to move it to a more "official" location
on my PC.
I am planning to install a repository manager next week, but I still
want my local repository in a better place. This is mostly so I can
reference the JARs in there in non-maven projects. Can I just rename
it and change my maven settings, or is there anything else?

Yes. That's what I wanted to confirm. Thanks.

your local repository is _~/.m2/repository/_, while the file
_~/.m2/settings.xml_ is user specific maven settings
you will want to move the repository, while you won't want to move the
settings, and you can configure the settings to point at the new repository
location
or did I misunderstand you?

It's ~/.m2/repository I want to move. So I'm asking if it's save to
move the existing directory away, or does it have metadata somewhere
that fixes it in place, meaning a new location would have to start
from scratch (I'm referring to the possibility of having absolute
paths perhaps?).
I just want to be sure, in case I corrupt it and have to start over.

yep, you can edit your ~/.m2/settings.xml to point the local maven repo to
any FS place.
