Re: Telling mvn to look for .m2 somewhere other than user home directory

[Ed Hillmann <ed...@gmail.com>]

I also think you can use the following command-line parameters:

org.apache.maven.global-settings to assign the location of global settings
org.apache.maven.user-settings to assign the location of the user's settings

For our developers, we use the following alias for mvn

mvn -Dorg.apache.maven.global-settings='common settings file'

This allows us to supply an alternative global settings file.  I
assume that if you use the "user-settings" parameter, you can achieve
the same thing.

Hope this helps
