Hi Alexander, Actually it's good practice to create an appropriate user for the service.. So, you should create a user on the local machine called "continuum" for example..
Then, log in as user "continuum" on the machine and make sure that maven and subversion client (or whatever scm client you use) works appropriately. Build your application and if everything works, install continuum as a service (on windows it's bin/win32/InstallService.bat or something).. You can save your settings.xml file as "C:\Documents and Settings\continuum\.m2\settings.xml".. Then, go to the "Start>Run...>" , type "services.msc" and press enter.. This will bring up a window with services settings.. You can now assign the "continuum" user to service "continuum", enter the password for the user, and voila.. it works..

Yes, I just verified this and it is running as a service under "Local Service." Does this mean that I should add the settings.xml file to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.m2\ ? I appreciate your help. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 11:29 AM To: continuum-users@maven.apache.org Subject: Re: Settings.xml not being recognized by Continuum Continuum is running as a service, but there's always a user associated with it. On Windows, your service is probably running as "Local Service" which means the user is Administrator. Or you can specify the user in the Services configuration. On Linux, the service is probably owned by root, unless you've set up a local user and group to own/run the service (which is a good practice).
