Form my understanding, the issue was not maintaining multiple settings.xml file, it was
the fact that oVirt's wiki suggests a settings.xml file with /a hard coded path/,
which many potential community members will not have, simply because they installed Java
and/or JBoss in a different location.
Since in order to run JBoss properly you should already have $JBOSS_HOME and $JAVA_HOME
defined, the suggestion here was to reuse those values in settings.xml too.

Another trick is to use the --settings option of maven e.g.
mvn --settings ~/.m2/settingsUp.xml clean install -Pdep
