Review Comment:
   Can this change be removed from this PR ? It's completely unrelated. 
   Also, if we do change that, other classes such as `DefaultArtifact` and maybe others use the same mechanism and should be changed at the same time.

> While working on INFRA-19861 we had issues with invalid changes in the settings.xml.
> This was detected too late. After installation {{mvn --version}} is called, but it will only show the version of Maven.
> It would be better to have a flag that verifies it a bit more:
> - can Maven read/write to the local repository
> - can Maven access all predefined repositories? (does the proxy work?)
> This gives a much better feedback if Maven can do its job.
> Current workaround: call something like {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=settings.localRepository -q -DforceStdout}}
