Igor,

I strongly believe the fix for the regression found in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388254 (default
~/.m2/settings.xml
not picked up on clean workspace) deserves a new m2e 1.2 RC respin.

I believe most users (in an enterprise environment or not) use custom
settings.xml and that bug breaks a lot of stuff when using either clean
workspace or workspace not having already manually defined  or reloaded the
user settings :
- lose custom repositories
- break mirroring
- break server authentication
- redownload the internets for user defining a custom local repo
...

Even though the workaround is trivial (reload user settings in the
preferences), that information will probably be missed by a majority of
users and will cause major spikes of complaints on the ML. Unecessary
1st-level user support is something we (Red Hat) 'd like to avoid, from a
3rd party adopter perspective.

Regards,

Fred Bricon
