Body:
nice.
Only enhancements I can think of now are (summarise and adding to above):
- if JAVA_HOME not set on startup, prompt for it
- set MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL, prompting for it somewhere in the flow
- give option to remove $MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL contents on uninstall (warn
about having to download repository again)
- install_repo should be run automatically
The only thing with MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL is that it really assumes a single
user machine. I don't know how that relates per-user and how that gets
configured. As long as it defaults to %HOME%/.maven it should be fine
without it.
