Hi Domi, this is a great help. I have more questions..... where can I check/change the home directory of my user jenkins running with? Is that a good idea if i put maven repos in a share drive and mount it on both maven and jenkins slave servers so that only one location should be cleared up once too many dependencies are there and maven does not need to copy files to jenkins slave when build job running? Thanks,
