-----------------------------------
Summary: Introduce MAVEN_ARGS environment variable
Key: MNG-7193
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7193
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.8.1
Reporter: Michael Osipov
Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate
Over the last couple of years people demanded to always pass arguments down to
Maven without supplying it specifically or repeat for every project over and
over again in {{maven.config}}. Arguments like {{-B}} or {{-V}}.
A new environment variable {{MAVEN_ARGS}} can be passed *before* the actual CLI
arguments.
Ideal precedence:
{{MAVEN_ARGS}} is overwritten by {{maven.config}} is overwritten by CLI
arguments. General to specific. Unfortunately, since {{MAVEN_ARGS}} will be
passed just like CLI arguments there is no way to detect that these arguments
came either via CLI or {{MAVEN_ARGS}}
One option would be to add separator token which would be dropped internally
thus makes it possible to differentiate between both, e.g,, {{MAVEN_ARGS_START
[ARGS...] MAVEN_ARGS_STOP}}.
