Servers config in settings.xml - multiple id declaration for same URL repository
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-4993
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4993
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Settings
    Affects Versions: 3.0.2, 2.2.1
            Reporter: Alix Lourme
            Priority: Minor


In some cases (ex : in a company), we can have multiple repository mirrors on same url in file _settings.xml_ (in function of library's typology) : 
* http://mycompany.com/archiva/repository/company-releases
* http://mycompany.com/archiva/repository/company-snapshot
* http://mycompany.com/archiva/repository/commercial-libs
* http://mycompany.com/archiva/repository/extra-libs
* http://mycompany.com/archiva/repository/proxied-releases
* etc ...

If _mycompany.com_ can be accessed in https, we must have many server tag configuration (based on [servers|http://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Servers] and [encryption|http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html] config).


Exmple of _settings.xml_ :
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<settings>
  <!-- ... -->
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>company-releases</id>
      <username>my_login</username>
      <password>{...password_encrypted...=}</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>company-snapshots</id>
      <username>my_login</username>
      <password>{...password_encrypted...=}</password>
    </server>
    <server>
      <id>commercial-libs</id>
      <username>my_login</username>
      <password>{...password_encrypted...=}</password>
    </server>
    <!-- Other server config -->
  </servers>
<!-- ... -->
{code}

To avoid multiple declarations, it will be great to rationalize server configuration for same login.

Some way : 

1) Ids separated by coma : 
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<settings>
  <!-- ... -->
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>company-releases,company-snapshots,commercial-libs</id>
      <username>my_login</username>
      <password>{...password_encrypted...=}</password>
    </server>
    <!-- All repository on same url, so 1 https config is ok -->
  </servers>
<!-- ... -->
{code}

2) The best, but with xsd update : 
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<settings>
  <!-- ... -->
  <servers>
    <server>
      <ids>
        <id>company-releases</id>
        <id>company-snapshots</id>
        <id>commercial-libs</id>
      </ids>
      <username>my_login</username>
      <password>{...password_encrypted...=}</password>
    </server>
    <!-- All repository on same url, so 1 https config is ok -->
  </servers>
<!-- ... -->
{code}

Thanks in advance.
