Description

Changing the DEFAULT local repository is not possible via ~/.m2/settings.xml in contrary to what the doc says -
http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.3.1/administrator_guides/localRepository.html

As a result, a C:\.m2\repository directory is being created automatically every time continuum runs.
