Good day to you, Oliver,

Best if you would create a parent pom for your projects. Then configure here
your common configurations to be used through out your projects. 

In this way, your builds would still be reproduce-able. Note that the
settings.xml does not get deployed. Thus, if somebody would build your
project in their machine, there is a chance that it would fail since the
configurations are not known in his machine.

An example of this parent pom is a Company POM. A Company POM is a pom
inherited by maven projects of that project. In this way, that company's
projects inherits configurations that the company requires.

Cheers,
Franz
