title: Using Maven's .m2/settings.xml throws warning in Eclipse m2e
body: <p>I'm using Maven's settings.xml to override a property value for a log4j.properties file for development purposes.  However, after I made this change, I now receive warnings in Eclipse m2e even though this is a normal use case:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Access "/Users/junger/.m2" directory outside of project base
    directory.
    (org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources:default-resources:process-resources)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I remove this warning?  Or, is there a bug tracking this?  I couldn't find one. </p>
  
  <p>In my pom.xml, I have -</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;properties&gt;
      &lt;log4j.properties.directory&gt;src/main/java&lt;/log4j.properties.directory&gt;
  &lt;/properties&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my settings.xml, I have -</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;profiles&gt;
      &lt;profile&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;dev&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;activation&gt;
              &lt;activeByDefault&gt;true&lt;/activeByDefault&gt;
          &lt;/activation&gt;
          &lt;properties&gt;
              &lt;log4j.properties.directory&gt;/Users/junger/.m2/&lt;/log4j.properties.directory&gt;
          &lt;/properties&gt;
      &lt;/profile&gt;
  &lt;/profiles&gt; 
  </code></pre>
