Method Detail

populateFromSettings

MavenExecutionRequest populateFromSettings(MavenExecutionRequest request,
                                           Settings settings)
                                           throws MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException

request - The execution request to populate, must not be null.

settings - The settings to copy into the execution request, may be null.

Returns:

The populated execution request, never null.
