I have a dual boot system with Windows and Linux. I have another partition which is visible to both Windows and Linux. I want to put my local repository there. How can I provide a path that both Linux and Windows will understand. Windows see it as d:/repository drive and Linux sees it as /media/234242342/repository. How should I configure this in pom.xml?

    Each OS needs an M2_HOME as per the Maven documentation. Inside $M2_HOME/conf/ you can put a settings.xml file and in that you can specify the location for the local repository using the <localRepository/> element.

    So for your specific system, in Windows use

    <localRepository>d:\repository</localRepository>

    and in Linux

    <localRepository>/media/234242342/repository</localRepository>
