I'm curious why there doesn't seem to be a way to reuse server credentials across multiple repositories (at least without a warning for those fortunate few on stack-overflow who claim success). For reference I mean as exemplified in [1], I have to define in my settings.xml a unique settings.servers.server for each projects.repositories.repository in my pom.xml, even if the credentials are the same. I've found a few links such as [2] and [3] that suggest just adding a <name> to each repository allows me to duplicate the <id>, but with Maven 3.2.5 and 3.3.9 I get a failure
[ERROR] 'repositories.repository.id' must be unique: artifactory-lmk -> http://example.com/url1 vs http://example.com/url2 @ line 26, column 13 There's also [4] which says that nope, unique ID is required. Link [2] is the newest and Manfred says it works, and that's the accepted answer there. Does it only work for distributionManagement.repositories and not for build.repositories? Is there anything on the roadmap to address this in near-future release? There's MNG-5585 [5] which would side-step the issue by presumably letting the HTTP wagon match the correct credentials automatically by authentication realm, without the user having to map them out explicitly. That'd be nice.
