I'll see if I can put one together as I explore toolchains more. Looking into this I'm a bit puzzled. Version 1.1-SNAPSHOT of maven-toolchains-plugin bind by default to the validate phase, but it doesn't run unless I specify an execution for it. If I have it specified in build/plugins with configuration but no execution it doesn't run. If I add the execution it runs.
