This issue is driving me bonkers!

EACH and EVERY time I restart Eclipse the value of Preferences -> Maven ->
User Settings is again pointing to <HOME>\.m2\settings.xml, while for my
current project it has to point to a specific settings-file that defines
repos, env-vars, profiles and what not. With the wrong settings file when I
build my project I always get 5000+ compile errors.

 

Why does this field keep changing all the time???

 

Yes - I have reported this a couple of months ago and only got answers that
essentially said "works for me", i.e. the setting is kept with the project.
But that is obviously not true or not working here in my case.

 

Where is that setting kept in the eclipse workspace? I mean: in which file?
I am considering making this file write-protected so that it can't change
any more. Or can one script that somehow that after Eclipse's startup the
first thing that happens is that this Preference's value is overwritten
again? Or any idea what other tool or approach might help me to bolt down
this field's value?

Subject: Why does Eclipse's Maven Integration not memorize my settings.xml
setting?

 

I am using different workspaces and each must have its own Maven settings.

 

According to misc. descriptions I found by googling re. this problem, that
should be feasible and the Maven preferences (specifically the User
Settings) should be saved within the workspace, i.e. switching the workspace
should also switch the Maven settings.

 

But not so in my environment (Eclipse JEE, Version 2019-03 (4.11.0) / Build
id: 20190314-1200)!

Not only when switching the workspace but even each time after restarting
Eclipse the User Settings field AGAIN points to <HOME>\.m2\settings.xml,
i.e. EACH and EVERY TIME I have to re-enter these settings again and that
gets mighty annoying!

 

What could be wrong here? And how can I convince/force Eclipse to not only
keep my user settings but also switch it when switching workspaces?
