How do I use that? -s has been in Maven as long as I can remember. The -D argument you gave above is deprecated in 2.1.0 and you should use -gs instead. Try mvn --help, it will list the available config. What you want is: mvn clean install -s e:\settings_di.xml - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
