How to override m2e global settings? [message #1857852]

I would like to define global settings.xml on a shared multi-user Windows system, but was unable to find how.

By default, Eclipse is looing into %userprofile%/.m2/settings.xml or user.home, but I have not found a way to override it to without copying the settings into each individual user profile, which I do not want to do as that would make deploying global changes problematic.

The m2e documentation states that "maven home" can be used but I was not able to get it working - https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-faq.html#how-to-configure-proxy-and-location-of-maven-local-repository

Which path variable can I set on Windows to force Eclipse to read maven settings from there by default?

Hi, I am not sure anyone here on this JDT forum might be able to answer this. This is better asked on the m2e user mailing list:
