Hi, I'm fairly new to Maven(2), and I'm also working on a machine which isn't mine. I have to set up a proxy to use Maven, and I know how to, I did it on a machine of my own, by making a settings.xml and put it in %userprofile%\.m2\ On this machine I did the same, but it did not work. It would only work when I put the settings.xml in the %maven_home%\conf folder. It seemed to work then, so the only explanation for me is that the settings.xml in my profile folder was ignored. To make sure that was the case I did the following:
C:\development\sandbox>echo %userprofile% C:\Documents and Settings\NLIWER Well, it seems that environment var is set as it should. Then I did the following: C:\development\sandbox>mvn -X archetype:create + Error stacktraces are turned on. Maven version: 2.0.4 [DEBUG] Building Maven user-level plugin registry from: 'c:\winnt\.m2\plugin- registry.xml' [DEBUG] Building Maven global-level plugin registry from: 'C:\development\ext\maven-2.0.4\bin\..\conf\plugin-registry.xml' I cur the rest. I know the command is not properly used this way, but it reveals something I did not expect:It is using c:\winnt\.m2\ Why would maven do that? Kind Regards, Ronald Iwema
