SettingsUtils.copySettings does not perform a deep copy
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4657
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4657
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Edouard Hue
Priority: Minor
The org.apache.maven.settings.SettingsUtils.copySettings method only creates a
new Settings instance and then copies all its attributes by reference,
including lists such as profiles or proxies. Hence, modifying the copy can
produce unexpected side effects on the original object.
Expected behavior is that a deep copy is returned, or documentation should
mention this behaviour. Maybe make it implement Clonable ?
