Maven settings.xml (2.5)

Create a new XML file in your .m2 directory called settings.xml. Add the following lines, specifying the actual location of your Tomcat home directory (in this example /opt/tomcat).

Do not include trailing / or \ slashes in the directory paths.
Sakai does not use the standard appserver.home so you must include a <sakai.appserver.home> element in your settings.xml file. For Windows users, the sakai.appserver.home value must be C:\opt\tomcat.

Optionally, you can specify the Tomcat home to be an environment variable:

<maven.tomcat.home>${env.CATALINA_HOME}</maven.tomcat.home>

Users who utilize a network proxy need to add the following to their file:

...
  <proxies>
     <proxy>
        <active>true</active>
        <protocol>http</protocol>
        <host>www.your.proxy.host</host>
        <port>80</port>
        <username>your_username</username>
        <password>your_password</password>
        <nonProxyHosts>localhost</nonProxyHosts>
     </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>

If you do not use a username or password for your proxy exclude <username> and <password> elements. You only need the nonProxyHosts option if you have a local maven repo that does not require the proxy to be accessed. Maven 2.0 does not support Microsoft's NTLN authentification scheme. If you connect to a proxy like ISA you will need to use a tool such as http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/ to proxy your traffic.
