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 Thomas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
