How to reference home directory in linux?

Hi,

I want to set the local repository position with this expression
"~/m2/repo", which is also used as an example in settings.xml. But it seems
not working unless I change it into absolute path such as
"/home/abc/m2/repo". 

1) Is it a bug of maven?
2) How can I do if a reference to home directory is needed here?

Thanks!

No. "~" is (usually) interpreted by the shell you are using. If it's in a 
configuration file the shell never sees it thus cannot replace it with the 
user's home directory. For maven "~" is just a character, nothing more.

As Haim said, try ${user.home}. I think this is a system property.

Try,

<properties>
		<my.root>C:/App/proj</my.root>


<url>file:///${my.root}/Maven/repository</url>

I havn't tried it, but did you try referencing it by ${user.home}?

Found this example here:
http://maven.apache.org/settings.html

  ...
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      ...
      <properties>
        <user.install>${user.home}/our-project</user.install>
      </properties>
      ...
    </profile>
  </profiles>
  ...



Bye
