AFAIK there is no way to do this in settings.xml. It is a chicken & egg
problem that has never been effectively solved in maven.
What you can do, is pass the repository location in as a property.
Typically I create an alias (or a .bat file on windows):
alias svmn mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=$JV_MAVEN_REPO_LOCAL
where JV_MAVEN_REPO_LOCAL is the location of your maven repo as understood by
the JVM, and is set on a per-project basis.
those who say that it is not important to isolate your maven build repository,
typically do not care about rigorous release methodologies. The artifacts
cached in your build repository are part of each release build, and should be
preserved as part of the release artifacts. People play all kinds of games
with external artifacts - it is important to immunize your release process from
this.
