Description

Maven currently only validates the model version to equal 4.0.0 when set. The XML element is optional. Starting with Maven 3.4.0 a warning message should be printed whenever no model version has been set so that it becomes possible to use that version to decide about Maven behaviour. For example: In Maven 3.5 we could add support for a new model version 4.1.0 which may be used to decide about how Maven 3.5 should behave. Behaviour for model version 4.0.0 will be the same as in Maven 3.4. Behaviour for model version 4.1.0 could be different. For this the model version needs to be set.
