> implement user configuration > ---------------------------- > > Key: MNG-158 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-158 > Project: m2 > Type: New Feature > Components: maven-core > Reporter: Brett Porter > Assignee: John Casey > Fix For: 1.0-alpha-1 > > > Currently, we are looking at allowing a user to configure some maven > properties specifically for themselves. > But what about configuration that is tied specifically to a user? > Specific things: > - installation locations (JDKs, repository, plugins - some may be set > > for site) > - connections (remote servers, type, username, password keys) > - password cache > The present thinking is that some of these settings might be set in the USD. > This can continue, and while this makes sense for general settings and would > work as an override, it would be better to centralise this configuration and > keep it secure (especially WRT passwords). Maven could prompt a user and > update this information (think SSH and known_hosts) - in the USD the precise > location to do that may be difficult and would probably default to the user > directory. > Later on, a GUI could be used to configure this, and it could be setup for a > user during installation. > User configuration could be referenced in a POM ${user.foo}, > ${maven.repo.local} (rename as user.repository for consistency), etc. > Some common settings: server, username, password for scm, site target, proxy, > repository (basic auth), distribution, issue tracker, wiki, etc. > Now, many of these may be the same, so there should be a default that is used > if another is not given. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
