populateFromSettings

MavenExecutionRequest populateFromSettings(MavenExecutionRequest request,
                                           Settings settings)
                                           throws MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException

Copies the values from the given settings into the specified execution request. This method will replace any existing values in the execution request that are controlled by the settings. Hence, it is expected that this method is called on a new/empty execution request before the caller mutates it to fit its needs.

Parameters:

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.

Throws:

MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException - If the execution request could not be populated.

MavenExecutionRequest populateDefaults(MavenExecutionRequest request)
                                       throws MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException

Parameters:

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

Returns:

The populated execution request, never null.

Throws:
