Hello Bear, hello all,

IMHO, the final continuous build machine should be anyway a root-only
machine (OK, root and the-same-root-person-as-a-common-user). The developer
machine is also pretty much a developer-only machine, so there is little
concern about some other user fiddling with the files.

Are you thinking about some academic-like environment? (shared machines or
many accounts on the same machine) If so, the problem is common to many
other packages than only Maven. I guess there are a lot of development tools
that require in a form or other rights higher than the average admin would
be happy to grant (I've had my share with MS tools).

The new features like split and read-only installation can be however
helpful, and a little thought on security won't hurt, but the nature of the
development environment is different than the nature of a production one, at
least from the security point of view.

Florin
