It's a default, you can change it by a property. The home is the only directory in a Unix system, where Maven savely can assume, that it is writable. Nevertheless there might be still reasons not to share a local repo between users e.g. in companies because of security or because of artifacts falling under a non-disclosure agreement. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
