Local repository location

By default, the Maven local repository is created at USER_HOME/.m2/repository. This can be changed to a preferred location by editing MAVEN_HOME/conf/settings.xml to update the value of the localRepository element, as follows:

<localRepository>/path/to/local/repo</localRepository>
