Frustrated, that I recently couldn’t find my maven settings.xml file because the Mac OS X Finder doesn’t show hidden files by default, I found that the following can correct that

  1. Open a terminal
  2. Type this : defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
  3. Kill any open finder sessions by typing (note the capital F) : killall Finder
  4. Re open the Finder, and you should now be able to see hidden files.

You can also reverse the above by changing TRUE to FALSE.

Hope this helps
