We document the settings.xml file in our wiki. For almost everyone, it boils down to cut-and-paste into settings.xml. For those that deploy they need to understand the file format better so they can create server with key file definitions. And for those few people who patch maven plugins they may need some additional repository definitions for snapshot repos, but they should know what they are doing anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
