Maven configuration in Jenkins | Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Maven Configuration

[Deb]

Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Maven Configuration gives me these two options:

Default settings provider 

Default global settings provider

Both the above options ask for using default Maven settings or using settings file in file system.

Can anyone help me to understand the options?

Maven has two layers of settings file.

Global is the "system" defaults and would be used on eg a multiuser system to define the proxies

Regular settings is the one that gets layered on top and would typically have your usernames and passwords for servers... but could also have proxies and mirrors if you have good reason to avoid the system defaults

On a single user system, most people don't change the global settings, so not normally a concern as there are not too many multi-tenant systems in these days of docker etc
