please don't do that. thats a very bad mvn practice.
IMO provide a settings.xml users can use via -s settings.xml or copy
to their ~/.m2/settings.xml instead.
For what it's worth, I think it's pretty convenient when things just compile out
of the box without any extra configuration steps: git clone; mvn install.
As for it being bad practice, I thought that was one of the benefits of using Maven: not
having to scrounge around for JARs, etc. to get the project to build.
Just my two cents.
