Paul Benedict commented on MNG-4054: ------------------------------------ Brett is right in his analysis. I was partially right. The first character does trigger the correct mode, but the rest is interpreted as a bogus option. Here's a bogus option that puts Maven into offline mode when it should just be rejected outright: {quote} C:\Workspace\test-4054>mvn -oX validate Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 14:10:27-0500) Java version: 1.6.0_06 Java home: c:\dev\jdk1.6.0_06\jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" [INFO] NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode.
