  1. Create a new xml file in your user home directory in the .m2 directory called settings.xml
  2. Add the following lines: 
    <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>tomcat5x</id> 
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> 
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <appserver.id>tomcat5x</appserver.id> 
        <appserver.home>/opt/tomcat</appserver.home> 
        <maven.tomcat.home>/opt/tomcat</maven.tomcat.home> 
        <sakai.appserver.home>/opt/tomcat</sakai.appserver.home> 
        <surefire.reportFormat>plain</surefire.reportFormat>
        <surefire.useFile>false</surefire.useFile>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>
    • Note: Unfortunately, Sakai does not use the standard appserver.home so you have to specify a sakai.appserver.home
    • Note: The sakai.appserver.home must be C:\opt\tomcat for windows users
    • Note: Do not include trailing / or \ slashes in the directory paths
  • (optional) You can specify the tomcat home to be an environment variable like so: 
          <maven.tomcat.home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</maven.tomcat.home>
  • (optional) Users who use a network proxy need to add the following to their file 
    ...
  <proxies>
     <proxy>
        <active>true</active>
        <protocol>http</protocol>
        <host>www.your.proxy.host</host>
        <port>80</port>
        <username>your_username</username>
        <password>your_password</password>
        <nonProxyHosts>localhost</nonProxyHosts>
     </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>
    • If you do not use a username or password for your proxy just leave out those 2 lines
    • You only need the nonProxyHosts option if you have a local maven repo that does not require the proxy to be accessed
  • No labels
