| Re: [aether-users] How can I verify proper authentication before use |

How can I trigger an early authentication, so that I prevent
getting authentication errors later on
For simple setups, trying to resolve some metadata and checking for errors should do.
Besides the above method of attempting some resolution, there's no means to query a remote repository whether it will require auth.
I would also like to prompt the user for credentials only if the remote
repository requires authentication. Is there a way to query that, so that I
can use the AuthenticationBuilder only when necessary?
You should however note that AuthenticationBuilder is just a convenience to build an impl of Authentication and you can simply provide your own impl that prompts for credentials when its fill() method is called. Together with aether-transport-http, this should allow you to lazily fetch credentials.
