"Error reading settings file" error is reported when settings.xml is deleted from maven/conf folder. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MANTTASKS-144 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-144 Project: Maven 2.x Ant Tasks Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.9 Environment: Win Vista, Java 1.6.11 Reporter: Yury Kudryashov I have deleted the settings.xml file in the maven/conf folder. This should be perfectly legal as Maven runs ok without this file. But an attempt to use any maven-ant-task results in the following (or similar) error message: [artifact:pom] Error reading settings file 'c:\apache-maven-2.1.0\conf\settings.xml' - ignoring20:46 or was: c:\apache-maven-2.1.0\conf\settings.xml (The system cannot find the file specified) Everything works ok, but this error message is confusing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
