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.
