Brian Brooks commented on MNG-5026:
-----------------------------------
We have a similar need to override the default location of settings.xml to be
in a place that our corporate IT doesn't slow down builds by scanning for
viruses. The IT dept excludes certain paths from virus scanning. Thus, we
like to place all our build-related files including settings.xml in one of
these excluded paths.
@Benjamin
MAVEN_ARGS would meet our needs.

> Key: MNG-5026
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5026
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Tim Myerscough
>
> I've raised this in response to thread
> http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-3-support-for-org-apache-maven-user-settings-td3261146.html
> My use case is that in my environment storing the settings.xml in the users
> home directory is not desirable. The build environment can be shared across
> different environments that do not share a common home directory. Instead, a
> shared mount is used.
> Having to maintain multiple copies of the settings.xml in multiple locations
> is confusing and error prone for developers. And having to specify a -s
> parameter on every command line, pointing at a long path, is undesirible. We
> use both Windows and Linux, so aliasing isn't available. I'd like to use a
> consistent approach across all environments, including Hudson builds where we
> use multiple settings.xml.
> Test case:
> Create file ~/.m2/settings-alt.xml with contents:
> <settings>
> <profiles>
> <profile>
> <id>alt-settings</id>
> <properties>
> <is-alt>true</is-alt>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> </profiles>
>
> <activeProfiles>
> <activeProfile>alt-settings</activeProfile>
> </activeProfiles>
> set the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable
> MAVEN_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings=~/.m2/settings-alt.xml"
> run:
> $mvn help:effective-settings
> It should include:
> <activeProfiles xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0";>
> <activeProfile>env-dev</activeProfile>
> </activeProfiles>
