The .classpath file has a bunch of <classpathentry> entries but none
have path pointing to the path set by the M2_REPO classpath variable.
In the .project file, I see a <buildSpec> entry and a <natures> entry
but nothing seems related to M2_REPO.
So, since I originally set the M2_REPO by including the path to the
specific (first) workspace using the cmd
mvn -Declipse.workspace=<pathtoworkspace> eclipse:configure-workspace
I wondered whether the M2_REPO setting should be found in some file in
that specific workspace path (and not with the project files that are
in an entirely different folder for my setup).
Looking into my first workspace folder, I see this hierarchy of subfolders
workspace1 > .metadata subfolder > .plugins subfolder >
org.eclipse.core.runtime subfolder > .settings subfolder which
contains a file
org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
which has a line
org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariable.M2_REPO=3DC:\\Users\\{myuser}\\.m2\\repository
It sure looked like the smoking gun, but commenting out or even
deleting that line did _not_ remove the M2_REPO setting.
So I'm wondering whether the M2_REPO setting I see in
Window > Preferences > Java > Build Path > Classpath Variables is
global across all my workspaces in Eclipse, because my 2nd (new)
workspace does have a project that uses Maven and requires setting
M2_REPO with eclipse:configure-workspace
Finally, following a suggestion by Ludwig, doing Reindex with
Window > Preferences > Maven > User Settings > Local Repository (From
merged user and global settings) > Reindex did not blank out or change
that Local Repository path (which is indeed pointed to by M2_REPO
classpath variable)
Next step -- in the absence of any better suggestion, I'm thinking of
deleting the (one) project in the first workspace, creating a new
workspace, and starting over by importing that project, to see if I
can lose the M2_REPO setting (hoping it is not global and does not
appear in all workspaces).
