[MTOOLCHAINS-5] Look for toolchains.xml in some central place

[jira-importer]

Göran Uddeborg opened MTOOLCHAINS-5 and commented

From what I understand, the toolchains.xml file is only looked for in ${user.home}/.m2. This is quite inconvenient if you want to provide a central configuration for a large development team. I suggest to look for it in some central place too. $M2_HOME/conf would seem to be a natural place, following the model of settings.xml.

I second this proposal. I'd expect this configuration to be handled in the same way as settings.xml, or just to be part of the settings.xml since this is just another environment setting.

Closing as "not a bug", since it is not a bug in this plugin. It has been fixed with MNG-3891 in Maven Core and will be part of the next release (3.2.6 or newer)
