Hi,
I checked this issue and the error message helps as well - Maven tries to
create directory /.m2/Repor/org/apache/maven/plugins - so the setting is
active, but the ${user.home] parameter is not substituted.
I tried ~/.m2/reponame, but ~ was not regarded also.
But it works very well with /home/<username>/.m2/reponame, so it seems you
have to specify an absolute path here - not a real restriction, I believe.
Best regards,
Balazs
