The idea of wrapping Maven with an interceptor framework to enable plugable features without impact is really interesting. Maybe it could help contributors to experiment some code, share with others, and expect it to get later merged into codebase if community approves the feature. A "M2_HOME/dropins" folder for such plugable features could be even better ;) Just ot let you know the color feature is broken on windows platform :(
