You have to put the configuration somewhere... having a custom maven distribution is sometimes easier than instructing each developer to download a settings file and put it in a certain place. It also has the advantage of standardizing what Maven version is being used to build your projects. It's up to you, though. I don't understand why it's important to have exactly *one* item in settings.xml. It's admittedly a bit ugly right now with repositories and pluginRepositories and mirrors, but it works. :) It should improve once the repository grouping feature in the next version of Archiva is available and you can serve multiple repos from a single url. -- Wendy
