Nils Breunese commented on MNG-6762:
------------------------------------

MNG-7774 added support for interpolating {{session.rootDirectory}} and 
{{session.topDirectory}} in {{.mvn/maven.config}}, which allows this:

{code}
--settings=${session.rootDirectory}/.mvn/settings.xml
{code}

> Multimodule project with .mvn/settings.xml not working properly

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6762
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.4
>            Reporter: Morten Minke
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: waiting-for-feedback, wontfix-candidate

>          Time Spent: 20m

> I have a project with the following setup:
>  
> {noformat}
> - MyProject
>   |- .mvn
>   |  |- maven.config
>   |  |- settings.xml
>   |- MyModule1
>   |  |- pom.xml
>   |- MyModule2
>   |  |- pom.xml
>   |- pom.xml{noformat}
>  
> The .mvn/maven.config file contains the following:
> {noformat}
> ..
> --settings .mvn/settings.xml{noformat}
> With this setup, I cannot build the modules separately because it cannot find 
> the .mvn/settings.xml file in the MyModule1 directory.
>  
> I looked into the code and saw that in the mvn script, the .mvn folder is 
> searched for in the parent folders. If it is found, that folder is marked as 
> the 'maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory'.
>  
> However, as soon as the configuration is loaded, this 
> multiModuleProjectDirectory is not used anymore for the interpretation of the 
> --settings property, therefor maven tries to find the .mvn/settings.xml file 
> inside the MyModule1 folder where it is not found.
> This results in an Exception and termination of Maven.
>  
> I thought of a couple of ways this could be solved:
>  * Allow for a variable substitution to work in the maven.config file and 
> thus reference something like:
> {noformat}
> ..
> --settings ${baseDir}/.mvn/settings.xml{noformat}
>  * When the maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory is configured and the 
> --settings flag is a relative directory, than use the 
> maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory as the root to obtain the settings.xml file.
