Nils Breunese commented on MNG-5659:
------------------------------------
Currently I use a `.mvn/maven.config` that contains the following:
{code}
--settings .mvn/settings.xml
{code}
This works when Maven is run from the project root, but when trying to run
Maven in a subdirectory/submodule you'll get this error:
{code}
[ERROR] Error executing Maven.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: The specified user settings file does not exist:
/path/to/current/directory/.mvn/settings.xml
{code}
It would be cool if you could specify a location relative to the project root.
Or have a default location for `settings.xml` that would just always be found,
regardless of whether you're in a subdirectory or not.

> It would be useful to have a settings.xml file next to the project pom that
> could contain project specific settings. For example, when switching between
> projects it is sometimes necessary to also change the location of the local
> repository, or use a different set of repositories and/or mirror settings for
> each project.
> If a settings.xml file could be included with a project checkout, then the
> repositories needed for the build could be included (instead of putting them
> in the pom) along with any other project specific settings.
> The tricky part is intelligently handling multi-module projects. For a
> multi-module project I don't want to include a separate settings.xml file for
> each directory. So Maven could recursively check each parent directory until
> it either (1) finds a settings.xml, (2) finds a directory with no pom.xml, or
> (3) finds the root directory.
