How does jenkins determine which local repository to use?

Question

I have two jobs running in jenkins both have the following setup

the global settings are

when they run they use the commands

Executing Maven:  -B -f /u01/jenkins/jobs/job_1/workspace/pom.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=/u01/jenkins/maven-repositories/0 clean install

Executing Maven:  -B -f /u01/jenkins/jobs/job_2/workspace/pom.xml -Dmaven.repo.local=/u01/jenkins/maven-repositories/1 clean install

Why do they use different repositories?

job 2 is dependent on an artifact produced by job 1.

Answer 1

When local maven repository is set to Local to the executer then the 1 in -Dmaven.repo.local=/u01/jenkins/maven-repositories/1 refers to the executer the job is running in. So if the job is running in executer n then the argument will be -Dmaven.repo.local=/u01/jenkins/maven-repositories/n.
