Description
To use global and user settings.xml provided by the Config File Provider plugin, one must declare both files to be used with every single job. This is a lot of work, hence error prone.
It would be smarter if one could simply go to "Manage Jenkins > Configure Jenkins > Maven" and declare the provided settings.xml files to be used there.
Benefit: The jobs do not need to know about any particular settings.xml file. All jobs run with this Maven version will then use that settings.xml files automatically. One could not accidentially forget to configure these files at new jobs.

bcalmac, I don't think this ticket is exactly a duplicate of the other one because, according to the title, it solves the issue only for new jobs.
The maven plugin "Maven Configuration" of settings.xml seems to be entirely ignored by projects and by scripts which try to run mvn executable directly. The project level "Use default maven settings" should respect the plugin level setting.

So what does
JENKINS-17723fix if this problem is still there? It doesn't look like this is a duplicate. As far as I can see there's currently no way to globally specify a settings.xml to be used by all jobs.
