elharo opened a new issue, #170:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver-ant-tasks/issues/170
## Summary
User settings discovery prefers `~/.ant/settings.xml` over
`~/.m2/settings.xml`, so a stray/leftover `.ant/settings.xml` shadows the real
Maven settings and silently disables mirrors/proxies/servers.
## Affected code
`src/main/java/org/apache/maven/resolver/internal/ant/AetherUtils.java`
lines 46-54 (master @ `df2908e`)
```java
public static File findUserSettings(final Project project) {
final File userHome = new File(project.getProperty("user.home"));
final File file = new File(new File(userHome, ".ant"),
Names.SETTINGS_XML);
if (file.isFile()) {
return file;
} else {
return new File(new File(userHome, ".m2"), Names.SETTINGS_XML);
}
}
```
## Problem
If any `~/.ant/settings.xml` exists — even an empty or stale file — it is
used as the user settings and the canonical `~/.m2/settings.xml` (which
normally holds mirrors, proxies, and server credentials) is never read.
## Expected behavior
Prefer `~/.m2/settings.xml` (the Maven-standard location), or make the
`.ant` preference explicit and documented. At minimum this precedence should be
revisited and covered by a test.
## Impact
Users who happen to have an `.ant/settings.xml` get silently different
resolution behavior (missing mirrors/credentials) than Maven.
