Isnt it something a plugin would be a better location? Can need some basic
downloads but would enable to do more checks on the project, better configure
the dummy artifact - 3.8.6 or maven cant be hardcoded in case of central
"mirroring", it can be forbidden intentionally.
It would also enable to maje checks grow, in particular with coming
multilocal repo feature for ex.
> 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
> Assignee: Maarten Mulders
> Priority: Major
>
> While working on INFRA-19861 we had issues with invalid 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}}
