Andy,

you would seriously be better off asking this on the maven user list. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sure alot of people on the other list would recognise it straight away.

 I tried doing this and am getting the following error (below)

Perhaps the settings.xml file is not getting processed correctly?

How can I debug if the environment variable I am setting is getting read in 
correctly?

my settings.xml is /home/dingfelder/.m2/settings.xml and contains:

<settings>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>default</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault/>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        
<java-third-party.home>/home/dingfelder/workspace/java.3rdparty/jars/</java-third-party.home>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

the error is:

 I have a pom that works on windows, but does not work if I use it on linux 
because the paths are different, such as:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.toedter</groupId>
        <artifactId>jcalendar</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.2</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>
                C:/projects/java.3rdParty/jars/jcalendar-1.3.2.jar
        </systemPath>
</dependency>

is there any way to use an environment variable for the start of the path or 
some other solution?

on linux the path would be
<systemPath>
        /home/myname/workspace/java.3rdParty/jars/jcalendar-1.3.2.jar
</systemPath>

Andy,
check out what it says on the maven website:

systemPath : is used only if the the dependency scope is system . Otherwise, the build will fail if this element is set. The path must be absolute, so it is recommended to use a property to specify the machine-specific path (more on properties below), such as $java.home/lib . ........
