There is no need for a custom settings.xml, since you can set the local repository using MAVEN_OPTS. This can be done with a top level variables declaration in .gitlab-ci.yaml. The cache directive won’t help you here, since it will cache dependencies between pipeline runs. I don’t think this is a good idea. I like my CI builds to run from a clean environment. However for one pipeline run, I want to download all dependencies upfront. But this does not seem to be possible.
