Macos Solutions
Solution 1 - Macos
If you use brew to install maven, then the settings file should be in
/usr/local/Cellar/maven/<version>/libexec/conf
Solution 2 - Macos
It doesn't exist at first. You have to create it in your home folder, /Users/usename/.m2/ (or ~/.m2)
For example :
Solution 3 - Macos
if you install the maven with the brew
you can type the command("mvn -v") in Terminal
see Maven home detail
mvn -v

Solution 4 - Macos
I found it under /usr/share/java/maven-3.0.3/conf , 10.8.2
Solution 5 - Macos
->It is located in $MAVEN_HOME/conf/settings.xml... where $MAVEN_HOME is your environmental variable of Maven that you have downloaded. Else you can do like this also.. ->Path to Maven can also be found from /etc/bashrc file in mac. Get Path to Maven from that file and in that Maven directory you can find conf/ directory inside that directory you can find settings.xml of maven
Solution 6 - Macos
found it under /Users/username/apache-maven-3.3.9/conf
Solution 7 - Macos
I brew installed it, and found it under /usr/local/apache-maven-3.3.3/conf
Solution 8 - Macos
After I have downloaded the binary from apache site I, have placed the extracted folder in /Library
So now the location of the settings.xml file is in:
/Library/apache_maven_3.6.3/conf
Solution 9 - Macos
I installed mavaen using sdkman because of which the other proposed solution didn't work, as they are applicable if the installation is done via Homebrew or as a standalone binary.
for my solution I did "which mvn" in the terminal which returned: "/Users/samkaz/.sdkman/candidates/maven/current/bin/mvn"
Then after opening the path in a finder and looking around the above directory I found settings.xml in the below folder. "/Users/samkaz/.sdkman/candidates/maven/3.6.3/conf"
Solution 10 - Macos
For macOS Monterey 12.0.1 and home-brew 3.4.7, it locates at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/maven/{version}/libexec/
I got this location from mvn -version, which gives me
