The more I think about this, especially with the inclusion of <repository>
elements for specific vendors, I tend to agree with the settings.xml approach.
Should be easy to describe in a blog post or email to the devs list on how to
do this. I agree that messing with settings.xml is not always a good thing, but
it supports profiles, repositories, properties, etc. that would make it fairly
easy for someone to add to their settings.xml without putting vendor-specific
stuff in Apache NiFi proper.
