Delany commented on MNG-5659: ----------------------------- [~breun] to solve your company issue I would use the properties-maven-extension to set the *git.dir.worktree* property that all the plugins could use. I stopped using when I found out how to build configuration files into a dependency for the plugins, e.g. [https://code.revelc.net/formatter-maven-plugin/examples.html#basic-configuration-using-external-resource] What if settings were treated the same way? Make another scope for them {code:java} <dependency> <groupId>com.company.project</groupId> <artifactId>settings</artifactId> <scope>settings</scope> </dependency> {code} > Project specific settings.xml > ----------------------------- > > Key: MNG-5659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5659 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: FDPFC > Reporter: Joachim Van der Auwera > Priority: Major > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x > > Attachments: mvn.patch > > > It would be useful to have a settings.xml file next to the project pom that > could contain project specific settings. For example, when switching between > projects it is sometimes necessary to also change the location of the local > repository, or use a different set of repositories and/or mirror settings for > each project. > If a settings.xml file could be included with a project checkout, then the > repositories needed for the build could be included (instead of putting them > in the pom) along with any other project specific settings. > The tricky part is intelligently handling multi-module projects. For a > multi-module project I don't want to include a separate settings.xml file for > each directory. So Maven could recursively check each parent directory until > it either (1) finds a settings.xml, (2) finds a directory with no pom.xml, or > (3) finds the root directory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
