I am running both maven inside the m2eclipse plugin, windows command line and my cygwin command line.
cygwin's bash shell dumps artifacts into the cygwin /home/me/.m2 directory
but m2eclipse & windows shell (on vista) uses /Users/me/Documents/.m2
Is it possible to tell the mvn command to use one central .m2 directory ?
Thanks

For Cygwin, create a file called ~/.mavenrc and put the following text inside:
MAVEN_OPTS="-Dmaven.repo.local=c:\documents and settings\user\.m2\repository"
export MAVEN_OPTS
Alternatively, you can create the file under /etc/.mavenrc
Another option is to create NTFS junction between .m2 under your windows and your cygwin profile.

Sure, several ways. The most typical is to specify this in your settings.xml file:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> <localRepository>/my/secret/repository</localRepository> </settings>
