Hi all,
I'd like to know if it is possible to pass an additional settings.xml
file to Maven.
Here is the use case:
We have a project, and CI is built on Jenkins. On Jenkins, it is allowed
to deploy stuff onto Nexus. So the settings.xml for Jenkins specifies
the necessary credentials in order to push to Nexus. We do not own the
settings.xml file, so we can't simply modify it. Also, it changes often,
so I can't simply copy it for my project and add what I want to it: it
would get out of sync pretty fastly, and a lot of stuff -such as
deployent- won't work any longer.
For our projects, we would like to use some mirrors, that are specific
to our project, and that may change often. Then it wouldn't make sense
to put them in the global settings.xml (that we can't change as we
want). So I want to have mirrors but can't edit nor replace the current
settings.xml. I thought maybe there is a way to "append" another
settings.xml file through command-line, for project-specific settings.
Does anyone how to achieve that? Or have a workaround for my use-case?
Thanks in advance for your insights.
