  - populateFromSettings
```
MavenExecutionRequest populateFromSettings(MavenExecutionRequest request,
                                         Settings settings)
                                           throws MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException
```

    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.
  - populateDefaults
```
MavenExecutionRequest populateDefaults(MavenExecutionRequest request)
                                       throws MavenExecutionRequestPopulationException
```
    Injects default values like plugin groups or repositories into the specified execution request.
