Nils Breunese commented on MNG-5659:
------------------------------------
[~delany] I would prefer for all projects, both internal and third party, to
build locally without any modifications or extra command line options. We
currently have this with our per-project settings setup, except that Maven can
only be run from the root of our projects, because it is not possible to
specify the location of a file relative to the project base dir in
{{{}.mvn/maven.config{}}}. If that would be possible, or Maven would have some
other mechanism for per-project settings (automatically reading
{{.mvn/settings.xml}} from the project base dir?), that would be great, because
all projects could be self-contained.

> 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.
