Maven Settings

Named aliases make it easy to use a company repository, public mirrors, or environments with different credentials without replacing the global file.

Add or Update an Alias

jup settings add intranet /path/to/settings-intranet.xml
jup settings add public /path/to/settings-public.xml

jup checks that the path is a regular file containing valid XML with <settings> as its root. It stores only the normalized path; it never copies the file or its credentials.

List and Bind Aliases

jup settings list
cd /path/to/company-project
jup settings use intranet
jup run mvn clean deploy

The binding belongs to the local project configuration. When Maven starts, jup automatically prepends the corresponding --settings argument.

Unbind or Remove an Alias

jup settings unset
jup settings remove intranet

unset changes only the current project. remove deletes the global alias. If a removed alias is still referenced by a project, bind another alias or run jup settings unset before the next build.
