Where does maven install jars?

Question

So I copied a Repo from my team lead's work-space into my work-space. Literally using unix CP.

Now whenever I run mvn clean install, it installs the compiled jar into the his work space.

I have checked the pom.xml in the repo and it doesn't explicitly define the target location.

I've also checked my printenv. There is no mention of my TL's work-space in any of the environment variables. Where is the location of my TL's work-space coming form?

You can find your installed JARs and dependencies in your local repository.

By default, you can find it here:

• Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\.m2\repository
• Linux: /home/USERNNAME/.m2/repository
• MacOS: /Users/USERNAME/.m2/repository
