It would be nice if the library can support reading the maven settings file location via System properties.

Maven allows end users to specify a custom settings.xml file via the command line switch of "-s". I use this feature quite a bit, especially when it comes to switching between public & private repositories.

I was recently trying to make a fix on WildFly Swarm, when I noticed that the build fails because one of the tests uses this library for locating dependent modules. In the following class,

org.wildfly.swarm.bootstrap.modules.MavenResolvers

, there is no option for loading a custom settings XML file. It would be really cool, if we can have an option to lookup a system property (some thing like MAVEN_SETTINGS_XML ) before looking for the file in the default locations. This would help scenarios where people use different settings for different scenarios.

If this is an acceptable enhancement, then I can submit the required PR as well.
