Hi, Artifact Resolver has many useful configuration options [1]
Most of these properties must be provided by user or system properties. Some are extracted from settings.xml Providing such many settings by command line for every execution is very uncomfortable. We can put those in MAVEN_OPTS by shell profile or by .mavenrc But in this case all values are put in the command line by mvn script, command line length can be limited ... and we have next place to mange Maven configuration What do you think about allow configure Resolver by settings.xml - it looks the most natural way, because settings.xml contains location of local repository which is affected by Resolver - it will be easier manage whole configuration in one place Some of the Resolver configurations can have complex type like for: aether.connector.http.headers is Map<String,String> Can we provide such configuration by user/system properties? Propositions: 1. Pass profiles/profile/properties to Resolver configuration - all as is - only beginning with aether.* - what with complex type? 2. Introduce new elements in settings.xml - profiles/profile/resolverConfig - with global properties - profiles/profile/repositories/repository/resolverConfig - for properties supports repo id 3. Use existing servers/server/configuration for properties supports repo id Any other ideas, hints? [1] https://maven.apache.org/resolver/configuration.html -- Sławomir Jaranowski
