Configure maven in netbeans and Eclipse to share the same local repository

Netbeans 7.1.1

1. On Windows machine, go to folder C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.1\java\maven\conf
2. Edit file settings.xml

Eclipse Indigo

1. Open Eclipse, click menu Windows --> Preferences --> Maven --> User Settings
2. Input path to your settings.xml

You can either make netbeans and eclipse to share same settings.xml file or edit their settings.xml seperatly and make them to point to same local repository. On my machine, I make them to point to same local repository by adding the following in settings.xml files,

C:\yyjia\mavenLocalRepo
