Eclipse plugin: how to read the "settings.xml" file path which is configured in M2Eclipse plugin

Question

Now I'm developing a new Eclipse plugin, in this plugin I need to get the settings.xml file which is configured in m2Eclipse plugin and update it. I want to know whether the m2eclipse plugin has provided the related extension point so that I can use directly.

I've researched its user guide and the website, I cannot find any useful information for resolving my problem.

P.s: I'm not saying how to configure the settings.xml in maven plugin but developing a new plugin to read the settings.xml in m2eclipse.

Answer 1

You can have access to the user settings.xml path via

MavenPlugin.getMavenConfiguration().getUserSettingsFile()

And the global settings via

MavenPlugin.getMavenConfiguration().getGlobalSettingsFile()
