Same opinion if it is just for aesthetics. Would be nice, but not really important enough. However, it is important to be able to change the settings.xml file in future, and the best way to do that and still support Maven 2 is by having a second location. Is Maven 3 already forwards compatible with reading the settings file? If not yet, I wouldn't consider this change until it is. Maybe this is a 3.1 thing. I think if it is done with a good reason, the tools will catch up soon enough - good tools would already support relocating the settings.xml file to match maven's arguments and the repository to match the entry in settings - at that point they'd only be adjusting to a new settings.xml format. The workaround for users is there if one of their tools doesn't. - Brett -- Brett Porter br...@apache.org http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
