Maven Settings Files in Anypoint Code Builder
Cloud IDE
Desktop IDE
Anypoint Code Builder relies on Apache Maven settings for managing Mule applications (implementation and integration projects) and API specifications in design projects.
For information about the Maven file settings.xml, see the Maven documentation.
Custom Location for Maven Settings File
The Apache Maven file settings.xml enables you to configure Maven settings, such as repositories, proxy settings, and credentials. For detailed information, see Settings Reference in the Apache Maven documentation.
To change the default path to your Maven settings.xml directory, set the maven.settings or M2_REPO system property.
To locate settings.xml, the IDE first checks for a maven.settings configuration. If the property specifies a path, the IDE uses the settings.xml file at that path. If maven.settings doesn’t specify a path or if the file isn’t present at that path, the IDE checks for settings.xml within the path set by the M2_REPO classpath variable (for example, M2_REPO/settings.xml). If settings.xml isn’t found at that path, the IDE creates an empty settings.xml file in the default location, ${user.home}/.m2/repository.
Anypoint Code Builder Settings File
Anypoint Code Builder doesn’t make changes to your Maven settings.xml file. Instead, when you open the IDE, a separate settings file, acb_settings.xml, is created if the Anypoint Extension Pack is installed in the IDE. The extension pack is preinstalled in the cloud IDE, but you must install it to the desktop IDE. See Set up the Desktop IDE.
Updates that you save to your settings.xml are reflected automatically within acb_settings.xml. The acb_settings.xml file is located in ${user.home}/AnypointCodeBuilder/maven. When troubleshooting a project in Anypoint Code Builder, you can export the file with any sensitive information, such as passwords, obfuscated. To export, see Export Troubleshooting Information.
