Description

I currently use Maven in 2 places
1. At work
2. Not at work

At work we have a repository manager thus we have mirror properties in the settings.xml for the whole teams global settings. We also have a defined a number of repositories in our work profile so we can mirror these to different repo's managed by Archiva. Now when I work from home I have to comment out the mirror definitions and activate a home profile which does not define any repos so Maven just goes out to the WWW as normal. So the pain is having to comment out and un-comment the mirror settings every time I go from work to home and visa-versa.

Can we not have the option to add mirrors inside profiles?

I solve this issue with a Groovy script to flip a lot of settings on SuSE laptop.

This actually might be solved with a nice small maven plugin to activate/disactive profiles in settings.xml

Rob - Profiles would help if the settings xml schema allowed mirrors in profiles but it does not. That is exactly my issue.

Oleg - What sort of things do you use you groovy script for?

This is definitely a requirement for 2.1 IMO, but it can't happen on 2.0.x.

2.1 can't handle a model change yet so most likely no for 2.x

Ditto - please implement this feature ASAP!

You should also add support for adding proxies to profiles.
