Problems with Apache Maven plugins ITs

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

Hi folks!

First, a big thanks to Gav and others for the upfront support on IRC :)

Oki, here comes my problem in a hopefully bit more structured form:

The maven plugin build is failing since a few months
https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-plugins-ITs-3.x/

We are working on getting this finally fixed since a few days and Dennis Lundberg yesterday discovered that our build also fails locally if -Dmaven.repo.local gets used. 

The reason is that we heavily do dirty tricks and use the -Dmaven.repo.local inside our own integration test setup sometimes. This might not be the utterly cleanest way to do it, but it's that way since years. Another project would not do this, but we need it to test Mavens internal core stuff.


Now my pledge:

Is it possible to assign the maven-plugins-ITs-3.x an own maven installation with a slightly tweaked settings.xml? 
It should have the following tag enabled (is disabled by default) and pointing to the same location as the -Dmaven.repo.local currently points to:

<localRepository>/path/to/special/local/repo</localRepository>

The -Dmaven.repo.local must get removed from this build.


Is this possible?

txs in advance and LieGrue,
strub

check the settings.XML into svn and use the custom settings.XML option.
