Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7193:
-------------------------------------
No parsing, but supplying. You have {{MAVEN_OPTS}}, {{jvm.config}} (which is a
horrible name by the way), CLI args, {{MAVEN_ARGS}}, {{maven.config}} (which is
a horrible name by the way). If you do the order handling of those kind of
input in the start script you have direct influence which is used first/last
(override, etc). This gives you fully predictable results. Issues like MNG-5857
would be solved by this. This is also related to this:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Commandline+inheritance.
At the end this ticket and the wiki clearly define the order or opts and args
for a fully reliable build which we don't have at the moment.
> 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
> Priority: Major
> 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}}.
