I can move the .netbeans directory from my user directory but I cannot find how to move the .m2 directory.
Changing Netbeans’user home worked on 7.0.1, but now I upgraded to 7.1.1 and the same configuration changes as before aren’t cutting it.
Is there some special way to move the .m2 folder?
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.1\java\maven\conf\settings.xml
Changed localRepository in this file and it finally worked. Can’t tell you how frustrating this has been.
