Problem
Forgot what i did, may be installed m2eclipse plguin, it made the M2_REPO classpath variable is unable to edit. Select Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables.
Eclipse come with embedded Maven and have this M2_REPO classpath variable default non modifiable also.
Figure – M2_REPO is non modifiable
Solution
To modify the M2_REPO value, you need to change it at Eclipse’s Maven configuration page. Select Windows -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings.
Figure – Change it to another Maven repository.
Once above value is updated, it will update the M2_REPO classpath variable automatically.
For Mac OSX Eclipse users
The “preferences” is at menu, Eclipse -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings.
The “preferences” is at menu, Eclipse -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings.
Thanks a lot MKYONG….you really explain everything well !!!!
Thanks mkyong!!
After maven User settings update, M2_REPO classpath variable is not getting reflected still showing default m2 path.
anyway its working with remapped m2 🙂

Thank you MKYONG, This website has gr8 infomation on technologies and problem solving too..
I added external maven in eclipse and also add new variable in java->classpath variables. but still mvn is not recognized.. ???
I don’t know why, but it didn’t work for me. Its showing me the new path under user settings but the variable M2_REPO is still having same old value 🙁
Please help.
Make sure you have C:/your/local/maven/repository element in your settings.xml
Thank you so much for this suggestion, Arun. It saved me a lot of trouble.
BUT you’ll have to ‘Restart’ Eclipse before this change is taken into effect…!
