Honestly, I cannot decipher it: `${cli:it:-${cli:gt:-${maven.install.conf}/toolchains.xml}}` Takes too much brain muscles from first glance. I wonder why those XML files cannot be optional by default and Maven would simply iterate over ``` ?${maven.install.extensions} \ ?${maven.project.extensions} \ ?${maven.user.extensions} ``` At the end we define the semantics how a property is interpreted. Git or Subversion do search for a user and global config and it is not a failure if both isn't there. Same here. We could log the absence at debug level. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
