How to get the Maven local repo location?

Question

Is there a way to get the Maven local repo location?

Using the following command you can force Maven to use a specific setting file:

 mvn -s < pat         


        

Answer 1

The Maven Help plugin will show local settings, including the local repository path.

You want the command:

mvn help:effective-settings

Output will show settings in XML format. Look for the localRepository element:

/home/jrs/.mavenRepo
