.m2 on Jenkins

I have Apache Maven 3 installed on my C: drive and the file settings.xml

is in C:\users\jsmith\.m2\settings.xml

. When I run mvn clean install

for a project, all required dependencies are downloaded and saved in the folder C:\users\jsmith\.m2\repository

.

However, I also have Jenkins' War deployed in Tomcat 8 and when I do a build using Jenkins all the required dependencies are downloaded and stored directly in a folder C:\.m2

(automatically generated by Jenkins) instead C:\users\jsmith\.m2

.

How can I point my Jenkins to a folder C:\users\jsmith\.m2

so that I don't have two different folders .m2

created in two different locations?

Just and FYI. In Jenkins, when configuring the project build and in the Advanced section, I already have the following settings:

Settings file: Use default maven settings
Global settings file: Use default maven global settings
