----------------------------------
Any update on this issue? This is for us also an issue in CI environments.
> Return back org.apache.maven.user-settings and
> org.apache.maven.global-settings properties

> Key: MNG-5199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5199
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Settings
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3
> Reporter: Karel Piwko
>
> According to discussion at
> http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-3-support-for-org-apache-maven-user-settings-td3261146.html,
> I'm sure there is a valid use case for the property:
> Imagine following:
> {code}
> mvn -s setting.xml test
> {code}
> Surefire has no way how to pass the path of the settings.xml in the spawned
> process. If the test in spawned process want to for example access remote
> repository defined in settings.xml, user has to specify settings.xml path in
> the test itself.
> However, for the following:
> {code}
> mvn -Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings=settings.xml test
> {code}
> This system property can be passed to surefire configuration and propagated
> to the Surefire spawned process later on.
> Having a system property removes duplication of the environment settings.
