James Z.M. Gao commented on MNG-5659:
-------------------------------------
[~delany] In my org, the 'project' settings for each project have been used for
many years, merged with the user and global level settings by a core extension.
The use cases are the org/project level mirrors (for internal network), the org
level bootstrap repositories (for org level parent poms or maven plugins), the
network configurations all internal servers, and so on. Like the pr of this
issue, the extension purges all {color:#172b4d}credentials when merging.{color}

> It would be useful to have a settings.xml file next to the project pom that
> could contain project specific settings. For example, when switching between
> projects it is sometimes necessary to also change the location of the local
> repository, or use a different set of repositories and/or mirror settings for
> each project.
> If a settings.xml file could be included with a project checkout, then the
> repositories needed for the build could be included (instead of putting them
> in the pom) along with any other project specific settings.
> The tricky part is intelligently handling multi-module projects. For a
> multi-module project I don't want to include a separate settings.xml file for
> each directory. So Maven could recursively check each parent directory until
> it either (1) finds a settings.xml, (2) finds a directory with no pom.xml, or
> (3) finds the root directory.
