Rogan Creswick commented on MNG-2553: ------------------------------------- We've worked around this by moving the repository details to settings.xml as properties: {code:xml} <settings> ... <profiles> <profile> ... <properties> <releases.url>http://10.0.0.20:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases</releases.url> <snapshots.url>http://10.0.0.20:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots</snapshots.url> </properties> </profile> ... </profiles> ... </settings> {code} then, in the pom: {code:xml} <distributionManagement> <snapshotRepository> <id>snapshots</id> <name>Snapshots</name> <url>${snapshots.url}</url> </snapshotRepository> <repository> <id>releases</id> <name>Releases</name> <url>${releases.url}</url> </repository> </distributionManagement> {code} It's not ideal, but at least external users can define those properties in a local settings.xml, or override them in a parent pom (I believe) and maven can still be used for non-deploy tasks even if they aren't defined. > Maven Local Settings Model should allow configuration of distributions > (distributionManagement) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2553 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2553 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Settings > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Reporter: Jimisola Laursen > Fix For: 3.x > > > There is a good use case where this would be very useful. > E.g. I develop a plugin in mojo-sandbox and want to test it in an environment > other than the one that I developed it on (e.g. a computer at work). I check > out the plugin to this, build and then want to deploy to another repository > (e..g a company's internal repository). I don't want to fiddle with the > pom.xml of the plugin, just refer to a profile in settings.xml. -- 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
