Description
**[Guillaume Nodet](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=gnt)** opened **[MNG-8650](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8650?redirect=false)** and commented
I think we should provide a simple command line that can be used to validate a POM and report warnings and errors in a simple way.
We could then ask Sonatype to make sure that POMs uploaded to Maven Central do not contain any error and raise the warnings back to maintainers.
