To solve this problem, the installer will now append a default 'settings.xml' filename onto the user provided value if the value given is a directory that exists.	Story Points:	---

Description Denno 2014-06-11 08:48:04 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1053627 +++

Description of problem:

Installer says in the Maven window: Specify the path to a valid settings.xml file, or the path where a new settings.xml should be created.

I can't specify a path, it keeps complaining that the specified path is not valid. Path I gave: C:\Localdata\JBoss\maven (folder exists!)

Error message I'm getting: 
"The chosen path either does not exist or is not a directory."

I also tried to provide an existing settings.xml file, but it gives the same issue. (How can I get some logging? I'm not getting any logging streams either.)

Hello Denno,

I believe that you need to enter the new file name also, so C:\Localdata\JBoss\maven\settings.xml should be created if you give it that path. This points to a problem with the explanatory text that we should fix.

The installer will now append a default 'settings.xml' filename onto the user provided value if the value given is a directory that exists. There are a few possibilities now for a given value

Suppose the user provides this location:
/home/user/folder1/folder2

1) folder1 and folder2 exist and are directories:
 - settings.xml created at /home/user/folder1/folder2/settings.xml
2) folder1 doesn't exist:
 - settings.xml created at /home/user/folder1/folder2 (the filename folder2 is taken to be the desired name for the file.)
3) folder2 exists and is a file:
 - if the file is a valid maven settings.xml file: required changes are added
 - if not: the user is warned

A link is also displayed to the user so they can view the schema.
