This issue is driving me bonkers!
EACH and EVERY time I restart Eclipse the
value of Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings is again
pointing to <HOME>\.m2\settings.xml,
while for my current project it has to point to a specific
settings-file that defines repos, env-vars, profiles and
what not. With the wrong settings file when I build my
project I always get 5000+ compile errors.
Why does this field keep
changing all the time???
Yes - I have reported this a couple of
months ago and only got answers that essentially said "works
for me", i.e. the setting is kept with the project. But that
is obviously not true or not working here in my case.
Where is that setting kept in the eclipse
workspace? I mean: in which file? I am considering making this
file write-protected so that it can't change any more. Or can
one script that somehow that after Eclipse's startup the first
thing that happens is that this Preference's value is
overwritten again? Or any idea what other tool or approach
might help me to bolt down this field's value?

I am using different
workspaces and each must have its own Maven settings.
According to misc.
descriptions I found by googling re. this problem, that
should be feasible and the Maven preferences (specifically
the User Settings) should be saved within the workspace,
i.e. switching the workspace should also switch the Maven
settings.
But not so in my
environment (Eclipse JEE, Version 2019-03 (4.11.0) / Build
id: 20190314-1200)!
Not only when switching
the workspace but even each time after restarting Eclipse
the User Settings field AGAIN points to
<HOME>\.m2\settings.xml, i.e. EACH and EVERY TIME I
have to re-enter these settings again and that gets mighty
annoying!
What could be wrong
here? And how can I convince/force Eclipse to not only keep
my user settings but also switch it when switching
workspaces?
