Why maven settings xml file is not there

Question

I installed maven plugin for eclipse and was able to use it only in eclipse  I want to be able to run maven commands from terminal so installed maven as explained in the below link   http   www mkyong com maven how-to-install-maven-in-ubuntu   My questions are   I could not find settings xml in this path  home raki  m2  -- What should I do for this  Does the maven installed in the above step affects the maven installed in eclipse  These two mavens work independently or how is that

settings xml is not required  and thus not autocreated in    m2 folder  unless you want to change the default settings   Standalone maven and the maven in eclipse will use the same local repository     m2 folder    This means if some artifacts dependencies are downloaded by standalone maven  it will not be again downloaded by maven in eclipse    Based on the version of Eclipse that you use  you may have different maven version in eclipse compared to the standalone   It should not matter in most cases

Installation of Maven doesn t create the settings xml file  You have to create it on your own  Just put it in your  m2 directory where you expected it  see http   maven apache org settings html for reference  The m2eclipse plugin will use the same settings file as the command line

The settings xml file is not created by itself  you need to manually create it  Here is a sample      lt settings xmlns  http   maven apache org SETTINGS 1 0 0        xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance        xsi schemaLocation  http   maven apache org SETTINGS 1 0 0                           https   maven apache org xsd settings-1 0 0 xsd  gt         lt localRepository  gt         lt interactiveMode  gt         lt offline  gt         lt pluginGroups  gt         lt servers  gt         lt mirrors  gt         lt proxies  gt         lt profiles  gt         lt activeProfiles  gt      lt  settings gt

As per the maven s documentation  there are two possible settings xml locations  One is the global maven s repo  Your initial download and subsequent unzipped files from apache maven    M2 HOME conf settings xml  And the second is the user created one  Your local copy    user home   m2 settings xml  The local copy takes precedence over the global copy in terms of settings information  But it is said that they both get merged during  runtime   If you need to have your local copy of the settings xml  simply copy from the global copy and paste in your  m2 folder and adjust the details as needed

By Installing Maven you can not expect the settings xml in your  m2 folder If may be hidden folder  to unhide just press Ctrl h   You need to place the file explicitly at that location  After placing the file maven plugin for eclipse will start using that file too

I also underwent the same issue as Maven doesn t create the settings xml file under  m2 folder  What I did was the following and it works smoothly without any issues   Go to the location where you maven was unzipped   Direct to following path     apache-maven-3 0 4 conf  and copy the settings xml file and paste it inside your  m2 folder   Now create a maven project

You can verify where your Setting xml is by pressing shortcut Ctrl 3  you will see Quick Access on top right side of Eclipse  then search setting xml in searchbox  If you got setting xml it will show up in search  Click that  and it will open the window showing directory path wherever it is stored  Your Maven Global Settings should be as such   Global Setting C  maven apache-maven-3 5 0 conf settings xml User Setting   userprofile    m2 setting xml You can use global setting usually and leave the second option user setting untouched  Store your setting xml in Global Setting
