> my netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf file contains a custom netbeans_default_userdir which works great. This userdir is used by all netbeans plugins (erm, except for one, the registration plugin) to store their settings.
> However, maven keeps creating a local repository .m2 in the windows user.home (Documents and Settings\<user>\ in XP or C:\Users\<user> in seven).
> Not ideal, but an empty directory doesn't bother me too much really. Except for the fact that maven really stores settings in there, for instance a custom local repository setting.
> My aim is to get a custom localrepository location, in a custom user.home location (where the maven settings should be stored).
> I've also tried using the external maven/conf/settings.xml and it doesn't seem to get picked up.
> I'm happy to have a look at the code and submit a patch if you point me in the right direction.
