[jira] Created: (MNG-4390) Make parsing of settings.xml lenient
with respect to unrecognized tags
Make parsing of settings.xml lenient with respect to unrecognized tags
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4390
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4390
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.x
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Currently, Maven parses the settings.xml in strict mode, making it error out upon occurrence of any tag that it does not understand. This makes co-existence of different Maven versions on the same machine more difficult as a user employing some newly added settings elements can't use the same settings.xml for old Maven versions.
In principle, unrecognized elements don't hurt and can be safely ignored. The only benefit from the strict parsing is to tell the user about potential problems/typos in his settings.xml. This can however also be realized by warnings instead of errors.

[jira] Commented: (MNG-4390) Make parsing of settings.xml lenient
with respect to unrecognized tags

Paul Benedict commented on MNG-4390:
------------------------------------
If a developer is sharing settings.xml among the same minor versions (2.1, 2.2, etc.), this is reasonable, but if this change then facilitates sharing across major versions (2.1, 3.0), then I think it's not the correct approach. I hope the latter requires an XSD or something to prevent this.
