Enable plugin configuration in settings.xml
-------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3164
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3164
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Settings
Reporter: Petr Kozelka
Currently there is no way to correctly persist user-specific configuration of
plugins.
There are many plugins, that do not affect the build process, and should
therefore NOT be configured in pom.xml (and versioned and released etc).
This is most annoying with IDE integration plugins. In a team, some developers
use IDEA, some Eclipse, some Netbeans or anything else. It is apparently a
nonsense to preconfigure anything about IDEA in pom.xml and commit it to the
repository, because others either do not care or perhaps want different
settings.
Ideally, it should be part of profile section. And to make the things really
correct, each plugin (or even parameter?) should specify whether it can be
configured in pom only, in settings only, or in both; one of these options
might be used as the default.
This feature will greatly improve the pom's reputation of being a project
descriptor, instead of being one user's setup.
