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

             Summary: New flag to verify the status
                 Key: MNG-6869
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6869
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Robert Scholte


While working on INFRA-19861 we had issues with invalid the 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}}
