mvnsh
Can’t wait using the latest maven goodies named mvnsh, but no binary are easely available See comments…
Getting and compiling the latest maven shell can be frustrating the tool depends on a lots of snapshots libs which you’ll not find in a central repo yet.
So I wrote a mvnsh-settings.xml containing the following :
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>defaultProfile</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>sonatype</id>
<url>http://repository.sonatype.org/content/groups/forge/</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
Adapt the instruction found on mvnsh github page to use an alternate settings.xml using the -s switch :
git clone git://github.com/sonatype/mvnsh.git cd mvnsh mvn install -s mvnsh-settings.xml
And you can benefit from the colors, growl notifications etc…
