Is there a way to tell maven where to place the artifacts?

Question

I am running both maven inside the m2eclipse plugin, windows command line and my cygwin command line.

cygwin\'s bash shell dumps artifacts into the cygwin /home/me/.m2 d

Answer 1

Sure, several ways. The most typical is to specify this in your settings.xml file:

• http://maven.apache.org/settings.html

  /my/secret/repository
