title: Local Maven Repository
body: <p>While working with Maven repository, I understand that Jars gets downloaded at .m2 repository in the hard disk. I want to give it a customized name at my desired location, say "C:\Users\Vamee\Desktop". I read somewhere that I should make changes in settings.xml like below </p>
  
  <p>{M2_HOME}\conf\settings.xml
  </p>
  
  <p>/path/to/local/repo</p>
  
  <p>C:\Users\Vamee\Desktop</p>
  
  <p>But problem is that I am unable to find Settings.xml in my file system. Please tell me where is Settings.xml or is there any other way to do it.</p>
