I'm guessing this is a bug with Maven2 that can't deal with a user's user.home being like this
user.home=\\FILESERVER\Users\<mylogin> As I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with my settings.xml, because if I run with the -Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings e.g. mvn projecthelp:active-profiles -Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings="C:\Documents and Settings\<myLoginId>\.m2\settings.xml" all works fine. So I'm guessing the \\FILESERVER path is giving Maven2 problems ? QUESTION: How can I work around this ? e.g. Can I set the - Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings as a permanent setting somehow, but obviously it will vary per developer. Can it be set in conf/settings.xml ?
