Maven settings.xml (2.x)

Create a new XML file in your .m2 directory called settings.xml. Add the following lines, specifying the actual location of your Tomcat home directory (in this example /opt/tomcat).

Do not include trailing / or \ slashes in the directory paths.
Sakai does not use the standard appserver.home so you must include a <sakai.appserver.home> element in your settings.xml file. For Windows users, the sakai.appserver.home value must be C:\opt\tomcat.

Optionally, you can specify the Tomcat home to be an environment variable:

<maven.tomcat.home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</maven.tomcat.home>
