Research direction

Start by locating the Maven 3-based startup scripts in the wrapper and compare them with Maven 4's simplified scripts, using the linked sample PRs as context. Review MWRAPPER-45 alongside MNG-7193, MWRAPPER-99, and MWRAPPER-61; done means the wrapper scripts are synchronized with Maven 4's consistency improvements without regressing existing startup behavior.

The scripts are Maven 3 based. Maven 4 has simplified the scripts and introduced consistency improvements. We should port those over for version 4?!
