Hi Joshua, You can overwrite the directories used by MAVEN using
>>> Snippet >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> # location of repositpory maven.repo.local = c:/apps/java/maven/repository # location of plugins maven.plugin.dir = c:/apps/java/maven/plugins maven.plugin.unpacked.dir = c:/apps/java/maven/plugins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< within a build.properties file located at %USER_HOME%, i.e. in your case : C:\Documents and Settings\Joshua This is especially helpful if you are using XALAN for XML Transformation wihtin a MAVEN plugin ... :-) And the build.properties is also the place to store your custom settings such as background color, checkstyle format .... Hope this helps .... Siegfried Goeschl On 29 Jul 2003 at 15:23, Joshua Spiewak wrote: > Hi there, > > I just started using Maven and had a couple of questions.
