- | This is the configuration file for Maven. It can be specified at two levels:
- |
- |  1. User Level. This settings.xml file provides configuration for a single user, 
- |                 and is normally provided in ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml.
- |
- |                 NOTE: This location can be overridden with the CLI option:
- |
- |                 -s /path/to/user/settings.xml
- |
- |  2. Global Level. This settings.xml file provides configuration for all Maven
- |                 users on a machine (assuming they're all using the same Maven
- |                 installation). It's normally provided in 
- |                 ${maven.home}/conf/settings.xml.
- |
- |                 NOTE: This location can be overridden with the CLI option:
- |
- |                 -gs /path/to/global/settings.xml
- |
- | The sections in this sample file are intended to give you a running start at
- | getting the most out of your Maven installation. Where appropriate, the default
- | values (values used when the setting is not specified) are provided.

-  <servers>
-    <!-- server
-     | Specifies the authentication information to use when connecting to a particular server, identified by

-  <mirrors>
-  <!-- mirrors
-   | This is a list of mirrors to be used in downloading artifacts from remote repositories.
-   | 
-   | It works like this: a POM may declare a repository to use in resolving certain artifacts.
-   | However, this repository may have problems with heavy traffic at times, so people have mirrored
-   | it to several places.
-   |
-   | That repository definition will have a unique id, so we can create a mirror reference for that
-   | repository, to be used as an alternate download site. The mirror site will be the preferred 
-   | server for that repository.

-        <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
-    </mirror>
-    -->
-  </mirrors>
-  <!-- profiles
-   | This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways, and which can modify
-   | the build process. Profiles provided in the settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-
-   | specific paths and repository locations which allow the build to work in the local environment.
-   |
-   | For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus - that needs to know where
-   | your Tomcat instance is installed, you can provide a variable here such that the variable is 
-   | dereferenced during the build process to configure the cactus plugin.
-   |
-   | As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One way - the activeProfiles
-   | section of this document (settings.xml) - will be discussed later. Another way essentially
-   | relies on the detection of a system property, either matching a particular value for the property,
-   | or merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK version prefix, where a 
-   | value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'.
-   | Finally, the list of active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.
-   |
-   | NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to specifying only artifact
-   |       repositories, plugin repositories, and free-form properties to be used as configuration
-   |       variables for plugins in the POM.
