----------------------------------------------------------------
With the new {{maven.properties}} introduced in
[MNG-7914|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 export the {{MAVEN_XDG}} environment variable to
configure Maven in an XDG compatible way.
The key point is that the syntax supports default values, for example we define:
{code}
maven.repo.central =
${env.MAVEN_REPO_CENTRAL:-https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2}
{code}
so that the {{maven.repo.central}} property will be set to the value of the
{{MAVEN_REPO_CENTRAL}} environment variable if set, else defaults to
{{https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2}}.
