----------------------------------------

I asked Vojtech yesterday about how settings are currently configured on Jenkins and I hope I'll get an answer soon. I also hope his answer is "we use global settings, so you can use the -s flag in your jobs".

> Currently, we deal with optimization for Jenkins by multiple local.* properties and local.* profiles.
> Those properties and profiles are just used in order to replace repository URL.
> Maven has the concept of mirroring for that, and without adding a profile, we can tell Maven to consume another URL for a given repo. Moreover, Tycho will support mirrors for repo in .target files starting from 0.16.0.
> WE should move to the mirror approach since it keeps things clear and separate issues: pom describe build, mirror allow to override repo without any change.
> Seems like Maven supports having 2 settings.xml files as input (one with -gs and one with -s), so no big difficulty here.
