I debated this myself before first posting. I think it is.

I'm not sure. I'm thinking of situations where a developer who is unfamiliar
with maverick inherits a project and has to get up to speed.

While the ability to view dump the current config to a page would be useful
for one developing a mav project (so yes, I am voting for this), I am not
sure it precludes or replaces dumping a file. (If the new developer can find
the command to do this, they are probably past the point where they are
looking for the file.)

As far as where to dump the file, I would say just dump it to the same
directory where you found maverick.xml. Just append -processed to the file
name (or something similar), so maverick.xml becomes maverick-processed.xml,
and if they renamed maverick.xml to foo.xml, then foo-processed.xml would be
produced.

If there is an IOException or some other problem, just log the exception to
System.err or better yet, use Log4J with a warn level.
