> In several places the documentation for maven2 refers to the local repository and user settings.xml file being relative to the "${user.dir}" system property. Behavior suggests that it is actually the "${user.home}" system property that is being used. From the javadoc for System.getProperties() in jdk1.5:
> user.home  	User's home directory
> user.dir 	User's current working directory
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()
