Right way to create ${user.home}/.m2
Hello all,
I'm writing instructions for new company developers how to install Maven.
On the one step, developer need to copy prepared settings.xml to
${user.home}/.m2, but before, this folder must be created.
But Windows XP don't allow to create folder with such name :(. It say I
need to input file name...
Is exists right way to create this folder?
Now I use just /mvn/ command in console, it has broken because no one
project exists in work, but .m2 folder has been created.
Best regards,
Aleksey Didik.

Thank you, Wendy!
Yes, it's possible to create "first dotted" folder by windows console :)
Quite good.
But idea with msi is the good one, may be I will make it.
Aleksey.

I think you can create it at the command prompt with mkdir, just not
in the graphical explorer. (Or maybe I simply resort to Cygwin when
this happens...)
It might be interesting to package it up as a .msi with your custom
settings.xml file.
