问题
I recently changed my password and have to change my maven settings.xml file to reflect that. However, no matter what I do in the settings.xml file, the changed password just won't get picked up. Out of desperation, I ran maven with the -s switch (mvn -s <my intended settings.xml file>) and everything just started working. It seems to suggest that maven by default is using a "wrong" settings.xml
Is there a way for me to figure out where the settings.xml file that maven is using is located?
回答1:
Use the Maven debug option, ie mvn -X :
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100)
Maven home: /usr/java/apache-maven-3.0.3
Java version: 1.6.0_12, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java home: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_12/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "2.6.32-32-generic", arch: "i386", family: "unix"
[INFO] Error stacktraces are turned on.
[DEBUG] Reading global settings from /usr/java/apache-maven-3.0.3/conf/settings.xml
[DEBUG] Reading user settings from /home/myhome/.m2/settings.xml
...
In this output, you can see that the settings.xml is loaded from /home/myhome/.m2/settings.xml.
