Changing the basedir?
If I use cygwin to make a Maven 2.x project by default the basedir is -
Value: C:\cygwin\home\MyName. How can I change this? I want to set the
basedir to C:\mavenWorkspace\projects. I tried passing
-Dbasedir=C:\mavenWorkspace\projects but it just seems to be ignored?
Thanks

Ah, ok thanks Ian. I didn't realize mvn created new projects in the current
working directory.
Thanks again.

Hi YoGee,
mvn creates new projects within the current working directory. When you
initially open the cygwin console you will start off in your home directory
(defaults to C:\cygwin\home\<userid>; you can see your current working
directory by issuing the command 'pwd' (short for 'Print Working
Directory')). If you want to create the project in a different directory,
you need to change to that directory. You can access drives/directories
outside of cygwin by using /cygdrive/<drive>/<path>.
So, to build a new project under C:\mavenWorkspace\projects, you would
issue the command:
$ cd /cygdrive/c/mavenWorkspace/projects
$ mvn archetype:create ...
HTH,
Ian
