Updating M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml
Hi all,
I just wondered if anyone has any best practises for updating the global settings.xml in Maven. I have considered checking the conf folder into SVN, or even potentially checking the whole maven install into SVN, then when changes are made send out an email and people can just do an SVN update to pick up the changes. The only disadvantage of this process is that it relies on people reading their mail and kicking off the update. I would preferably like a method of automatically publishing changes which would automatically update all developers machines.
Any thoughts around this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Matt
P.S. I would also be interested on your views regarding checking in solely the settings.xml file into version control, vs checking in the whole install.

Put <maven-install-dir>/conf/settings.xml on a shared drive, or replace
it with a symlink to a shared drive.
Why do you need to change the settings.xml anyway? Could it not be done
in a master pom that is the parent to all other poms? Then you can
simply deploy the master pom and you're done.

Hi,
Maybe you should check for a deployment/configuration system like bcfg2
or puppet.
