Tamas Cservenak commented on MNG-8380:
--------------------------------------
Seems Maven 3.9.9 is "resilient", in a way it just reports a warning:

> Key: MNG-8380
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8380
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Settings
> Affects Versions: 3.9.9
> Reporter: Robert Krajewski
> Priority: Major
> Labels: DRY, credentials, mirror, mirrorOf, repository, servers,
> settings
>
> As far as I can tell from the current documentation and the behavior of Maven
> 3.9.9, mirrors and repositories need authentication are still obliged to rely
> on a server element of the same id as the repository for each repository or
> mirror that needs credentials. If this is not the case, please document a
> solution that does not require such repetition, otherwise please take a look
> at the discussion at
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17511469/setting-a-single-server-credentials-in-maven-for-multiple-repositories]
> If there is no proposal, what I'd suggest is that an element like
> <referenceServerId> (or something like that) contained in a <mirror> or
> <repository> element, which if present, directs Maven to use the credentials
> used in the referenced <server> with the <id> given by <referenceServerId>.
> That server *must* be present in the settings environment. Otherwise the
> older behavior of using a <server> with the same <id> as the mirror or
> repository applies.
