Maven local repository location for Linux and Windows

Question

I have a dual boot system with Windows and Linux. I have another partition which is visible to both Windows and Linux. I want to put my local repository there. How can I provide

Answer 1

Each OS needs an M2_HOME as per the Maven documentation. Inside $M2_HOME/conf/ you can put a settings.xml file and in that you can specify the location for the local repository using the element.

So for your specific system, in Windows use

d:\repository

and in Linux

/media/234242342/repository
