>          Key: MNG-158
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-158
>      Project: m2
>         Type: New Feature
>   Components: maven-core
>     Reporter: Brett Porter

>      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.
