Reading Better Builds with Maven. from Devzuz It says on page 32 "When you install and run Maven for the first time, it will create your local repository and populate it with artifacts as a result of dependency requests. By default, Maven creates your local repository in <user_home>/.m2/repository. You must have a local repository in order for Maven to work."
Now I'm using XP and I'm assuming <user_home> will be substituted with %USERPROFILE% environment variable. But on XP you can't have a directory named ".m2", XP groans and says you must have a file name, for it thinks you are just specifying an extension. Have done the install. When I run mvn --version it says everything's ok. So where is my repository? The last thing booksays is you must have local repository for Maven to work. Confused.. You bet :confused: Any -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Local-Maven-repository.-Newbie-question...-tp15439648s177p15439648.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
