This writes a maven repository location to a temporary settings.xml file
which persists only for the R session. The location of the maven repository
is either specified here, or can be defined by the
options("rmaven.m2.repository"=...) option. If neither of these is
provided, the location will revert to a default location within the rmaven
cache. (Approved by CRAN for a local cache location) e.g. on 'Linux' this
will default to ~/.cache/rmaven/.m2/repository/
set_repository_location(
repository_location = getOption("rmaven.m2.repository", default = .working_dir(subpath
= ".m2/repository/")),
settings_path = .settings_path()
)a file path (which will be expanded to a full
path) where the repository should be based, e.g. ~/.m2/repository/.
Defaults to a sub-directory of the rmaven cache.
the file path of the settings.xml to update (generally the supplied default is what you want to use)
the expanded path of the new repository location
# Setting the repository to be a temp dir as an example:
set_repository_location(paste0(tempdir(), "/.m2/repository"))
#> /tmp/RtmpiQqvcj/.m2/repository
# you would never want to do this in real life as then the maven repository
# would be rebuilt on every new R session.
# set the repository location to the usual location for Java development
# set_repository_location("~/.m2/repository")
# We don't run this above example as it creates an empty directory in the
# userspace and doing so in an example violates CRAN principles.
# set the repository location back to the CRAN approved default location
set_repository_location()
#> /home/runner/.cache/rmaven/.m2/repository
