Description

Changing the DEFAULT local repository is not possible via ~/.m2/settings.xml in contrary to what the doc says -
http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.1/administrator_guides/localRepository.html

As a result, a C:\.m2\repository directory is being created automatically every time continuum runs.

the correct path of the document is http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.6/administrator_guides/localRepository.html to be consistent with the version reported.

The default local repository is updated during continuum startup.

I tried it on linux and it's working. The previous location of my DEFAULT local repository was "/home/marica/.m2/repository". I changed the localRepository in my settings.xml and the DEFAULT local repository was changed to the new location after restarting continuum.

This is related to http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do;jsessionid=fb6e478118f963cc2468f8a1f8b0?bug_id=4162112 bug. Temporary solution works, i.e. by passing

-Duser.home=C:\Users\Username,

if you are using maestro, this can be achieved by adding the following line in <maestrohome>/projectserver/conf/wrapper.conf,

wrapper.java.additional.12=-Duser.home=C:\Users\Username
