23 -Before start using Maven, you have to configure it in order to use the plug-ins provided by WOProject. General Maven configuration is made in a settings.xml file. This file can be found in a folder called ##.m2## in each user's home directory (,,/.m2 on Unix systems and C:ocuments and SettingsserNamem2 on Windows). If this file does not yet exist, you can just create it.,,
