-----------------------------------

             Summary: Introduce MAVEN_ARGS environment variable
                 Key: MNG-7193
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7193
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Command Line
    Affects Versions: 3.8.1
            Reporter: Michael Osipov
             Fix For: 4.0.x-candidate


Over the last couple of years people demanded to always pass arguments down to Maven without supplying it specifically or repeat for every project over and over again in {{maven.config}}. Arguments like {{-B}} or {{-V}}.

A new environment variable {{MAVEN_ARGS}} can be passed *before* the actual CLI arguments.

Ideal precedence:
{{MAVEN_ARGS}} is overwritten by {{maven.config}} is overwritten by CLI arguments. General to specific. Unfortunately, since {{MAVEN_ARGS}} will be passed just like CLI arguments there is no way to detect that these arguments came either via CLI or {{MAVEN_ARGS}}
One option would be to add separator token which would be dropped internally thus makes it possible to differentiate between both, e.g,, {{MAVEN_ARGS_START [ARGS...] MAVEN_ARGS_STOP}}.
