Issue 219: Please provide guice-servlet and guice-struts2 in a maven2 repository http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=219
Comment #6 by rene.gielen: inder123, I'm with you on having to configure unneeded stuff in settings.xml is bad and should be avoided. However there are a couple of situations where you would find it necessary to touch this file. settings.xml is, among others, for providing configuration that would be misplaced in the project specific configuration, such as - workplace specific configuration, eg. chose gwt-linux installation on a linux workstation as gwt-home, gwt-windows on a windows machine - user specific configuration, such as user secrets / credentials Each maven wagon (ssh, ftp etc.) with need for authentication relies on configuring your credentials in settings.xml, it's a documented feature and the wanted behaviour. Since there are only a couple of people having write access to the svn / being in the role of a release manager, only they would need to configure those credentials, simlilar to them locally having to configure svn write access in their svn credentials store or IDE. 99,9999% of the users won't have configure anything besides the given configuration in the pom. Deploying in your local repository, manually identifying, copying and adding the output to a subversion checkout and committing afterwards for each release is more error prone, more steps to do and does not integrate well with automated nightly build/ci, than simply doing a one time local configuration per workstation plus typing mvn jar source:jar javadoc:jar assembly:assembly deploy for each deployment Just my 2 cents, Rene -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
