Ah .
I wonder if it really needs to store the values in the users
settings.xml file at all? The System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir")
property should at a minimum be globally friendly as a place to write
things.
It looks like the "Preferences" API is even available in jre 1.4
versions, that would probably be the "optimal" place to store such
data. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/prefs/Preferences.html
I'll try and keep track of things, thanks for the update.

The work I've done has been patching the official maven-artifact-manager,
maven-artifact and maven-settings modules. The patch, comments and answers
are all here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-671
The holdup currently is that I don't know what the standard way of accessing
and modifying the user's settings is (nor do any of the maven devs!). I've
asked multiple times on the maven dev mailing list and in the JIRA issue
itself, but no answer. Based on a thread in the dev list
(http://www.nabble.com/how-to-get-current-settings-object-tf2180267.html)
it looks like Jason van Zyl may be the one who holds the key.
It might be possible to produce custom snapshots of these three modules for
internal use, but without the settings info it would prompt the user about
unknown licenses each and every time, instead of saving the response. If
anyone knows Jason, maybe they can give him a friendly nudge?
