Ability to source system properties in settings.xml
---------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-942
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-942
Project: Maven 2
Type: Wish
Versions: 2.0-beta-1
Environment: Maven 2.0-beta-1
WIN XP PRO SP2
java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode)
Reporter: John Allen
Priority: Trivial
Would be nice to be able to source Java System properties in the global and
user settings.xml file. This is intended to allow custom build systems to set
arbitrary m2 settings.xml properties programmatically by wrapping m2 executable
in their own wrapper exe and then passing these settings to M2 via the JVM
options ($MAVEN_OPTS). Currently only explicitly supported settings can be
overrided/defined by system properties (such as maven.repo.local).
An example might be the proxy being employed, depending on where the build is
being run from the proxy might be set differently. Note the same machine is
being used (a laptop in this case) but operates in multiple locations and
therefore network configurations (work/home). The M2 wrapping script can detect
this difference from network info (ipconfig or IE connection details) and set
the proxy details appropriately. I guess in this example it would be even
better if it was just able to set a System property that acted as a switch
which then activated the correct proxy configuration defined in settings.xml.
