Description

Now the repository (and other server related tags!!!) linked with corresponding server configuration by ID tag. For the complex project it produce tens of similar servers->server records in settings.xm

The best explanation of the issue is on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15011250/maven-meaning-of-repository-id

The possible solution is define aliase for existing server configuration instead of duplicate it.
