Why is there two configuration files for Maven, settings.xml and
pom.xml
Can I put the configurations in settings.xml to pom.xml? Why does maven use
two configuration files?

The pom.xml is meant to be checked in to your version control system,
and will be published to the maven repository. This should produce a
"normal build" without any external settings.
The settings.xml file can do per-person overrides of stuff in the
pom.xml. Of course this is not normally checked in, and is never
available in the maven repository.

Re: Why is there two configuration files for Maven, settings.xml and pom.xml

Hi,
I am facing this problem after I put information about my Intranet
repository in my settings.xml in .m2 folder. I had to do this, because
m2eclipse which has the value for local settings file from \m2\settings.xml
, wasn't able to download the SNAPSHOT versions from remote Intranet
repository, if they were not present in the local repository(I had to
configure the repository or snapshots).
Everything seemed to work fine until I had to add other repository in my
pom.xml(specific to the project), I added codehaus snapshots repository, but
settings.xml seems to override everything now and throws an error telling
could not download the required plug in from "internal-site".
One way that I could thought of was to add this repository as well in the
settings.xml but even after adding the error was same. Am I inferring the
right reason for this or there is something else that I am not able to
figure out?
Could someone please guide on the same?
Regards,
Amit Kumar

The idea is that some settings are not specific to a project
(settings.xml is just a file on your computer, not part of the build).
For example, one thing I have in settings.xml is settings for my local
web proxy. That doesn't make any sense to attach to your project, since
it's probably not applicable to everyone who wants to build said
project. And conversely, I don't have to add that to every single
project I ever try to build.
There is some flexibility in putting certain things in either the POM or
settings.xml. You can create profiles in settings.xml, for example. This
is so that, again, you can deal with build aspects peculiar to your
particular machine. It's a fine line, but there's a pretty good page[1]
that details the concerns with putting profiles into settings.xml
without breaking portability. Or you can just see for yourself what can
go in the POM [2] and what can go in the settings [3].

Can I put the configurations in settings.xml to pom.xml? Why does maven
use
two configuration files?
