The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: thierry lach Created: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 10:10 AM Body: Please don't close this out without addressing it.
I've been trying to do this as part of a build validation process. Part of the validation is to ensure that the proper jars are available from the remote repositories, and that any non-core plugins are also referenced appropriately, so I want to start out with an empty local repository. And since I don't want to trash my own repository, I'd like to be able to specify the local repository location in one of the properties files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1292?page=comments#action_20520 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1292 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MAVEN-1292 Summary: maven.repo.local cannot be set with a relative directory to basedir Type: Bug Status: Unassigned Priority: Critical Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven Components: core Fix Fors: 1.1 Versions: 1.0-rc3 Assignee: Reporter: Michael Mattox Created: Mon, 24 May 2004 10:43 AM Updated: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 10:10 AM Environment: windows 2000, jdk 1.4.2 Description: I can set maven.repo.local to a full directory path and it works fine: maven.repo.local=D:/projects/MDSP/eclipse/sources/cs-repository if I change it to: maven.repo.local=${basedir}/cs-repository it looks for the repository in my project's directory, which is expected. however, if I put: maven.repo.local=${basedir}/../cs-repository it ends up creating a new repository in my home/.maven/plugins directory: C:\Documents and Settings\mmattox\.maven\plugins I have no idea why the ".." puts it there but it should resolve the relative directory.
