I'm not sure if I am understanding your questions correctly.

~/.m2/repository is your local maven repository. When running geronimo this is not used directly in any way.

Geronimo includes a repository that has the same file system structure as a maven repository, by default at <geronimo-home>/repository. Almost all the jars used by geronimo are located in this repository (there are few in <geronimo-home>/lib)

The only time I can think of when your geronimo instance would interact with the local maven repository is if you were installing a geronimo plugin from the local maven repository into your geronimo instance. In this case you would certainly be pulling the geronimo plugin from the maven repo and most likely other jars and geronimo plugins that are dependencies of the plugin you are installing. For instance, the geronimo build works this way, assembling the geronimo servers from the plugins previously built and installed into the local maven repo.

Hello,

.m2 is a hidden directory. By default, it appears in your home directory. This differs depending on whether you are using unix or windows. In unix, you can view hidden directories using "ls -al" I can't quite remember the
menu commands to make hidden files viewable in windows explorer but I
think
this should help  [1].

This post is directly related to your other thread, and probably should
have
been made as a reply to your previous message.

Hope this helps!

Hi
This post is in partial response to my own post about a Geronimo local repository. I learned that Geronimo is using an internal maven repository
to
manage dependencies,
but this is separate.

And my understanding is that this local maven repository is located
at:"/.m2/repository

I do not understand this .m2 thing? What physical location does this
repository map to?

Help me understand this.

thanks in advance
ilango
