I vote for removing it from the publically facing doc. is there also a thought of removing it from the code? I guess if someone makes sure that all our many tests pass without it, fine with me. I should explain my passing reference to Aether. I wrote a little OSGi utility that uses Aether to fetch some dependencies, and I wanted it to get mirror definitions out of, well, $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml. That probably counts as acute sloth on my part. > > Thanks > > -D > > On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 3:15 AM, Benson Margulies <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I know of two cases where it comes up. >> >> 1: some of our own ITs.
