settings.xml is optional. When this configuration file is not pressent m2e (or maven for that matter) will use default values for location of local repository, http proxies and other settings.xml parameters.
Endless build loops usually mean either workspace got out of sync with local filesystem or incompatible maven plugins are forced in m2e workspace build. -- Regards, Igor On 12-11-28 8:51 AM, Ilko Iliev wrote:
Hi, perhaps a stupid question, but I have the dead lock situation with m2e and RAD 8.5 and I assume the problem is that there is no settings.xml file on the machine, because it does not have apache maven installed onto it. So in the preferences there is a warning "Missing settings.xml", which is correct, however the build process goes into a never ending loop, trying to access the maven repo causing the RAD to crash completely. My question is, if there is settings.xml generated / installed with the installation of the m2e plugin and if yes where could I find it / why it is not set as default from the installation procedure? I haven't found some prerequirements on the plugin page that maven installation is needed on the machine - as far as I can remember somewhere is a statement "you don't need local maven installation with the plugin because the internal will be used" - or something similar.
