"local cache" or "local maven cache" or "temporary Maven cache" or "jar cache" (not accurate strictly speaking but by the time your find out what else is cached there, you are well on your way!) or "maven artifact cache"

Getting rid of "repository" is the key motivation to change the term.

Is it too hard to change the name on the disk in a new version.
I suppose that it would not cause too big a problem for most users since deleting the cache is often recommended as a cure for silliness.

m2e installs its own repository inside .metadata.
The issue I'm having is that I can't manage that repository. Unless, of
course, I install a local Nexus and point it to that repo, but I suspect
that m2e and Nexus would then start to quarrel.

Here you're (again or on purpose?) mixing local repository and a remote one
like a mrm provides.

No, you're just mistaken again.

If you are looking for MRM functionality on your desktop while developing


Not really.
I see a repository created by m2e and can't manage it, that's all.

Local. Not remote. Looking similar at first sight but actually different
beasts.

Somebody referred to it as "remote repository, stored locally".

This is confusing terminology, the first "remote" refers to the typical Maven usage of "local = whatever is used inside the mvn executable, remote = anything else", the "stored locally" refers to machines. (I'd seriously consider renaming "local repository" to "cache repository" to clean this kind of confusion up. "remote" and "local" are just too overloaded terms.)
