> There is one conceptual problem I have here: How does this relate to `maven.config` doesn't it cause confusion? Add even more complexity? It's imho, a much better way to provide configuration properties. `maven.config` can be used to provide _command line arguments_, but it has a few problems: it does not have the usual multi-level that we have for settings or toolchains (global, user, project). In addition, the syntax is not user friendly, does not support inclusions of other files and does not support substitutions. Imho, we should keep `maven.config` for actual CLI arguments and users should use `maven.properties` to define properties such as https://maven.apache.org/resolver/configuration.html (we should have a similar one for maven). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
