Unable to change the local repository settings

[Padma Priya]

Hi all,

I am using apache-maven-2.2.1. I tried changing the local repository settings(by changing the <localRepository>D:/maven_repo</localRepository>
) in settings.xml file under D:\JavaProjects\apache-maven-2.2.1\conf dir from C:\Users\deepthi\.m2 to d:\maven_repo directory.

But everytime all the dependencies are downloaded to C:\Users\deepthi\.m2 only. How can i override the default behaviour and download all my dependencies to d:\maven_repo

Typically there are two settings files, one in the core install of Maven itself and the other one in your .m2 directory, I would edit the one in the .m2 directory (or create one there with the new directory that you want to point to).

Are you sure that the Maven you are running is the one in D:\JavaProjects\apache-maven-2.2.1? (Martijn's recommendation will avoid this issue...)

Also, what change did you make to settings.xml?

I changed my conf/settings.xml file to relocate the repository on my PC and that works just fine for me.
