• Project - most static configuration occurs in pom.xml, should inherit from a company-wide parent pom.xml
• Installation - this is configuration added once for a Maven installation
• User - this is configuration specific to a particular user (located at "${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml").
User - create directory .m2 (located at "${user.home}/). Copy the default settings.xml coming with maven to this location:

Windows

C:\> mkdir c:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\.m2
C:\> copy "c:\Program Files\apache-maven-2.1.0\conf\settings.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\.m2\"
        1 file(s) copied.

...

$ cd
$ mkdir .m2
$ cp /usr/local/bin/apache-maven-2.2.1/conf/settings.xml .m2/

• Maven configuration occurs at 3 levels:
  • Project - most static configuration occurs in pom.xml, should inherit from a company-wide parent pom.xml
  • Installation - this is configuration added once for a Maven installation
  • User - this is configuration specific to a particular user (located at "${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml").

Configuration at a "Global Level" (for all users on a machine) can be done in "${maven.home}/conf/settings.xml"
