Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-6603:
--------------------------------------
With the new {{maven.properties}} introduced in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7914, it should be easy to change the
default config and define an {{MAVEN_XDG}} variable (unset by default), which,
if present, would change default values to some XDG compatible values, else,
keep the current values the way they are.
Then, you'd just have to create the {{MAVEN_XDG}} environment variable to
configure Maven in an XDG compatible way.
