I am new to scala and learning scala.I am trying to build a scala project using sbt tool.I could figure out that the default location for the jars downloaded while building the scala project is as follows

c:\users\<username>\.ivy2\cache

Now i want to change the default location. For example i want to download all the jar files to the following location E:\scalarepo.

Is there a way to change the default location. I have checked the location of my sbt installation which is 

C:\Program Files (x86)\sbt\conf

And see that there is a file by name sbtconfig.txt . Is there a property where we can set the location ?

As in maven we can change the location in the conf/settings.xml file to make sure the jar files are downloaded to a specific folder instead of the default location which is ${user.home}.m2\repository

Can you please let me know

  1. If there is a property which we can set, if yes what is the property
  2. Is it good to change the default location
  3. What is the file that we need to change

This is one of the link i found where to find downloaded library of sbt? which tells the default location of the jar files downloaded
