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

The Java VM itself provides the following options:

-version -----> print product version and exit

-version:<value> -----> require the specified version to run

-showversion  -----> print product version and continue

Consider providing the same options in Maven.

> I wanted to always print the Maven version when I build, but unfortunately Maven immediately quits after outputting the version. This option should not quit when a lifecycle is also specified. Example: mvn -v install
