Maven local repo (2.x)
Create a local Maven repository (.m2) in your home directory:
Unix/Mac
cd $HOME mkdir -p .m2/repository
Windows
mkdir %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.M2\repository
In Windows the default location of your home directory is C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername
. Windows also establishes it through environment variables by combining your "home drive" location and your "home path" location, i.e. %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
. (The %
-sign is how Windows brackets environment variables).
