I am having trouble accessing the settings.xml when running the following 
command on my windows box:

   mvn -Duser.home=j:\joe_user compile

where "j:\joe_user" is a samba mounted drive to my unix box in which the .m2 
directory exists.  I've run with the -X switch so I can see what's happening:

   mvn -Duser.home=j:\joe_user -X compile

   [DEBUG] Reading user settings from c:\Documents and 
Settings\joe_user\.m2\settings.xml
   [DEBUG] Reading global settings from 
j:\joe_user\maven\apache-maven-3.0\conf\settings.xml
   [DEBUG] Using local repository at j:\joe_user\.m2\repository



I've only included the interesting debug messages and you can see that I am 
using version 3.0 as my M2_HOME is set to j:\joe_user\maven\apache-maven-3.0

Things run as expected when I copy the settings.xml file from my unix box onto 
my windows box into the appropriate directory OR if i add the -s option:

   mvn -Duser.home=j:\joe_user -s j:\joe_user\.m2\settings.xml compile



My question is:  based on the maven documentation, it appears that a user's 
install is specified at ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml  therefore, should 
specifying the user.home via -D option point to the correct location and NOT 
the home directory (under windows)?

I apologize if this is answered elsewhere.  I did perform several searches 
prior to sending this email.

thanks

bill
