I already had the change to C:\dev\Projects-java8\.m2\setting.xml file made.
It did not solve the problem.
I tried to create the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable, but that did not work.
The symlink option worked...
Thanks for the help.

One obvious solution would be a symlink from %USERPROFILE%\.m2 to your
project's .m2 folder
Another solution is to define an environment variable:
MAVEN_OPTS="-Dmaven.repo.local=c:/dev/Projects-java8/.m2"
And as a third alternative, it is also possible to specify this in settings.xml
<localRepository>c:/dev/Projects-java8/.m2</localRepository>
See https://datacadamia.com/maven/local for details
