The Maven2 settings.xml file to my understanding is looked for in two places:
- Under the conf folder in your Maven2 installation directory - In the user home directory under .m2/ I do not think that a settings.xml file needs to present at all. The Maven2 conf folder has a default settings.xml file. I never tried to remove that.

As I understand continuum prints out the location of settings.xml. This comes from our log file: INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/09/05 08:54:34 | 2006-09-05 08:54:34,033 [WrapperSimpleAppMain] DEBUG MavenSettingsBuilder - Building Maven global-level settings from: 'D:\javadev\tools\continuum\continuum- 1.0.3\bin\win32\conf\settings.xml' INFO | jvm 1 | 2006/09/05 08:54:34 | 2006-09-05 08:54:34,033 [WrapperSimpleAppMain] DEBUG MavenSettingsBuilder - Building Maven user-level settings from: 'C:\Documents and Settings\continuum\.m2\settings.xml' If the files are present or not, these lines arein the log files. Because I had some trouble I tried out following combinations: Location of settings.xml %MAVEN_HOME%\conf %CONTINUUM_HOME%\bin\win32\conf (1) not present not present (2) not present present (3) present not present (4) present present 1,2 and 3 result in errors. 4 does not. So it seems the the settings.xmlfile must be present at both locations...? The errors (part of) are listed below. For your info: there is one master project, containing several modules. The modules have the master as parent POM, the master uses a company wide parent POM. The local repository is empty, this is tested with a clean installation of maven/continuum. (1) No settings.xml specified.

(2) settings.xml present in %CONTINUUM_HOME%\bin\win32\conf I this case adding the master project results in all projects being added to continuum. However the master project can not be built because the parent POM is not found. Apparently the settings from settings.xml are not taken into account. Our settings.xml overrides central so that our projects go to our internal (company) repository.

Adding the master project works fine, all modules are also added, our internal repository is used.
