Property for the location of the local repository
Hi all,
I could have sworn I've used ${localRepository} before but it doesn't
seem to work. I've also tried ${settings.localRepository} and
${maven.repo.local}. How do I refer to the location of the local
repository in a portable way? Is there a difference between Maven2 and
Maven3?
Cheers,
Hilco

Mystery solved. The problem I ran into was related to
maven-antrun-plugin. Version 1.4 apparently has a serious bug with
properties (I didn't actually check whether anything was reported).
If I use version 1.6 (the latest at this time) then
${settings.localRepository} works as expected.

I was wondering the same thing - and I just ended up creating my own custom
property.
If you find a built-in property, please let us know.

I don't know what is actually the prefered way of accessing the path to the
local repository (but I'm quite sure I saw discussions about it on this
list before). However, running your example pom.xml works as soon as I
changed ${maven.local.repo} to ${settings.localRepository}. This is working
with maven 2.2.1 and maven 3.0-beta-3.

I had a look in the source code and found the following:
hilco@centaur ~/open-source/maven/maven3 $ find . -name '.svn' -prune
-o -type f | xargs grep LOCAL_REPO_PROPERTY
./maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java:
public static final String LOCAL_REPO_PROPERTY = "maven.repo.local";
./maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java:
String localRepoProperty = request.getUserProperties().getProperty(
MavenCli.LOCAL_REPO_PROPERTY );
./maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java:
localRepoProperty = request.getSystemProperties().getProperty(
MavenCli.LOCAL_REPO_PROPERTY );
So "maven.repo.local" seems to be the right property. As far as I can
tell, however, it never gets set?
hilco@centaur ~/open-source/maven/maven3 $ find . -name '.svn' -prune
-o -type f | xargs grep maven.repo.local
./maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java:
public static final String LOCAL_REPO_PROPERTY = "maven.repo.local";

I can't tell where maven.repo.local is being set and in my POM it
shows up as "${maven.repo.local}". I could definitely be missing
something (I can't work out where ${project.build.directory} is set
either) :-) but is ${maven.repo.local} working for anyone?
Is there some documentation on how properties are handled internally?
How *does* project.build.directory get its value?
