The .m2 folder is used for configurations of maven. It contains the local repository folder used as cache for artifacts downloaded and installed by maven (see also maven repositories). Further there are two configuration files for maven:

• settings.xml initialized from a template from your devonfw-ide [settings]. You may customize this to your needs (configuring HTTP proxies, credentails, or other user-specific settings).

• settings-security.xml is auto-generated for you by devonfw-ide with a random password. This should make it easier for devonfw-ide users to use password encryption and never add passwords in plain text for better security.

Finally there is a file variables for the user-specific configuration of devonfw-ide.
