Hi Peter, I have defined the netbeans.installation property in <user-home>/.m2/settings.xml so that different developers can have their paths set-up differently.
Here's the content of my settings.xml file: <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";> <profiles> <profile> <id>netbeans-installation</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <properties> <netbeans.installation>C:/Users/falappa/PortableApps/netbeans-8.2</netbeans.installation> <netbeans.userdir>C:/Users/falappa/Documents/nb8.2-userdir</netbeans.userdir> </properties> </profile> </profiles> </settings> It also defines a location of the user dir, this is handy to avoid feature activation, maven index download and process every time I launch a secondary NetBeans instance. You can avoid the <activation> part but in that case you have to explicit enable the netbeans-installation profile when you run/debug your project. Hope it helps.
