Description

Invoker will use default settings xml even if differetn settings xml is specified in calling maven process. It would be very usefull to add posibility to "inherit" settings.xml to invoker:run goal (settingsFile parameter is not enough, since it seems imposible to determine settings file from in calling maven process)

Don't think that any kind of merge is required, what is needed is ability to use same settings.xml that was used by caller process.
For example, if you run maven if -s key it is not really logical for invoker to ignore that setting.
One possibility would be to add a parameter to run goal of invoker, e.g. inheritSettingsXml=true/false, then in case of true use settings.xml from caller process, current behavior otherwise.

As Konstantin said, you could add an 'inheritSettings' parameter, but the 'settingsFile' would still be loaded and add/override what it needs to.

This way we would inherit the proxies section and still use the "fast build" configuration.
