Hi,


It's been a while since changes have been made to MNG-6869. It adds helpful
functionality that is particularly useful when you're on a company network
and want to do some basic checks to verify if Maven is working. This will
be helpful for a large group of users and helps in solving basic issues and
therefore could reduce false issues being reported about "Maven not
working". The pull request unsatisfyingly ended up in a discussion where
three flavors came across: implement it in core, in a plugin or in an
extension.


In summary the following arguments apply to the three different flavors:


Move it to a plugin

+ Does not introduce extra complexity in core

- Needs additional downloads and could fail before the basic checks occur


Move it to an extension

+ Does not introduce extra complexity in core

- Requires additional installation steps before it can be used (we could
consider to ship the extension with Maven to circumvent that)


Put it in core

+ Works without requiring additional downloads / installation steps

+ Can do all basic checks



I like to know how the community thinks about this, so please reply briefly
with the following if you have a opinion about it:

- "1" for plugin

- "2" for extension

- "3" for core

- "4" drop the idea, close the ticket



I'm planning to work on it on the 10th of May and would like to continue
working on it then. I would appreciate it if replies are given before this
date.



Cheers
