-----------------------------------
Summary: Native support for powershell to start maven
Key: MNG-7541
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7541
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.8.3
Environment: windows 10 / 11
Reporter: Jurrian Fahner
Maven has two files in the bin dir:
||command||it's use||
|mvn|bash|
|mvn.cmd|cmd.exe|
On windows there are two ways to write scripts, by using cmd.exe or using
powershell.
If you enter mvn in powershell it will look for `mvn.ps1` on the PATH first. If
it doesn't find anything it will execute `mvn.cmd` as fall-back.
When running maven for starting a server for development purposes and you do
ctrl-c to exit the server it will ask the question: Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
As far as I know it is default behaviour of cmd.exe.
Well if I don't want to terminate, I wouldn't press ctrl-c. ;)
It is not the case (as far as I know that Microsoft is going to deprecate
cmd.exe in favor of powershell:
[https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/rumors-of-cmds-death-have-been-greatly-exaggerated/]
Allthough I think it would be a good move for maven to have also a powershell
script as well... It is possible to integrate elegant support for native help
in powershell, `get-help mvn`.
But it also increases the maintenance effort as well. I don't know whether this
cost outweigh the benefits, though...
By the way I would happy to contribute if it is appreciated.
