Make parsing of settings.xml lenient with respect to unrecognized tags
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4390
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4390
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.x
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Currently, Maven parses the settings.xml in strict mode, making it error out
upon occurrence of any tag that it does not understand. This makes co-existence
of different Maven versions on the same machine more difficult as a user
employing some newly added settings elements can't use the same settings.xml
for old Maven versions.
In principle, unrecognized elements don't hurt and can be safely ignored. The
only benefit from the strict parsing is to tell the user about potential
problems/typos in his settings.xml. This can however also be realized by
warnings instead of errors.
