-------------------------------------------
Summary: Project specific settings.xml
Key: MNG-5659
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5659
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Joachim Van der Auwera
Attachments: mvn.patch
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.
