Most people use invoker to run integration tests of their maven plugins. As such, when running integration tests, you typically will have a test settings.xml so that the test environment will be constant.
There is the issue of when you are behind a proxy, to solve this issue (as sometimes you need absolute control over the test env settings) there is mrm-maven-plugin @ mojo, that fires up a local Mock Repository Manager which will use your settings.xml to retrieve artifacts not available in your local repository so that the invoker based tests can still have the required environment, but work behind a proxy. What is your use-case?
