[jira] Commented: (MNG-4889) Allow definining properties directly in settings.xml

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4889?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=242369#action_242369 ] 

redstun commented on MNG-4889:
------------------------------

correction:
I do need profile irrelevant properties.

by the way, when can we have <property name='xxx'>value</property> ?

> This is another aspect where Maven makes simple things hard.
> In my settings.xml, I want to have the following
> <settings>
>  ...
>  <properties>...</properties>
>  ...
> </settings>
> but that's not working, reading the doc, I found that I have to 
> 1. create a profile
> 2. make the profile active
> 3. define the property I want.
> I understand the need to have properties bound to a certain profile, but I do need profile relevant properties.
> Thanks
