Is this feature on the Maven radar?
Could this be handled in the /bin/mvn script - have a new "mvn upgrade" that could download into ~/.m2/install" and run from there if newer than the system install. This could also maven allow you to define a environment variable for M2_VERSION and have it download run against that?
