Robert Scholte created MNG-6869:
-----------------------------------
Summary: New flag to verify the status
Key: MNG-6869
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6869
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Robert Scholte
While working on INFRA-19861 we had issues with invalid the changes in the
settings.xml.
This was detected too late. After installation {{mvn --version}} is called, but
it will only show the version of Maven.
It would be better to have a flag that verifies it a bit more:
- can Maven read/write to the local repository
- can Maven access all predefined repositories? (does the proxy work?)
This gives a much better feedback if Maven can do its job.
Current workaround: call something like {{mvn help:evaluate
-Dexpression=settings.localRepository -q -DforceStdout}}
