Siarhei Dudzin commented on MNG-3303: ------------------------------------- TBH, settings.xml would be probably the last place (unless other choices is not an option) where I would want to have this. It's much more controllable if you have it in a parent pom (even on the organization level) then you can easier roll out changes, while settings.xml is more difficult to automatically distribute. And if a quick startup project is needed a new archetype can be created. The idea behind the plugin (my understanding) is to have pom settings reflected on your eclipse project. By moving something out of the reproducible dependency/configuration tree may make the result of a project less reproducible. Even though I understand the motion behind this request I wouldn't want to have a developer in my team who is unable to generate his eclipse project correctly just because he has wrong version of settings.xml or forgotten to put something (may become a nightmare in bigger teams), - just my2 cents though. > read some plugin settings from settings.xml > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3303 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3303 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Paul Harrison > > It is not appropriate that all of the possible settings for the plug-in are > read from the pom, as they will be dependent on details of the user's > personal eclipse installation - it would be more appropriate if they were > picked up from the settings.xml file. > e.g. additionalProjectnatures propetry -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
