> Key: MNG-5026
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5026
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Tim Myerscough
>
> I've raised this in response to thread http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-3-support-for-org-apache-maven-user-settings-td3261146.html
> My use case is that in my environment storing the settings.xml in the users home directory is not desirable. The build environment can be shared across different environments that do not share a common home directory. Instead, a shared mount is used.
> Having to maintain multiple copies of the settings.xml in multiple locations is confusing and error prone for developers. And having to specify a -s parameter on every command line, pointing at a long path, is undesirible. We use both Windows and Linux, so aliasing isn't available. I'd like to use a consistent approach across all environments, including Hudson builds where we use multiple settings.xml.
> Test case:
> Create file ~/.m2/settings-alt.xml with contents:
> <settings>
> <profiles>
> <profile>
> <id>alt-settings</id>
> <properties>
> <is-alt>true</is-alt>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> </profiles>
>
> <activeProfiles>
> <activeProfile>alt-settings</activeProfile>
> </activeProfiles>
> set the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable
> MAVEN_OPTS="-Dorg.apache.maven.user-settings=~/.m2/settings-alt.xml"
> run:
> $mvn help:effective-settings
> It should include:
> <activeProfiles xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0">
> <activeProfile>env-dev</activeProfile>
> </activeProfiles>
