currently don't allows an url

[Mark Struberg <st...@yahoo.de>]

As seen recently, the usage of the <server> tag in
settings.xml is not used consistently. Some plugins do
use it, others don't. And many devs don't even know it
exists or may be used for other things than scm.

So i have a few questions and thoughts on how to
handle it in the future:

1.) Should the <server> section, in best-practice
serve, as an central point for the most common server
spezifica?

2.) Should it only be a storage for username/password,
or for all (most) server common attributes, like
<url>, <protocol>,<timeout>, etc?

.) Should it at least be extended by <url>?

.) Should it be possibly to set username, password,
url, etc in the pom.xml, and should the values be
overwritten by settings.xml? Or should the
settings.xml be the only place?

I don't know what u think about, but to me it may be a
bit more consistent over all plugins.

txs in advance,
strubreg
