I am all about how quick, I can get installed. For instance, maybe I am writing an organizations how to, to download the standard speech jar. I would rather say, issue these ten commands: curl http://dl.ghost4j.org/ghost4j-0.5.0.zip > ghost4j-0.5.0.zip open ghost4j-0.5.0.zip /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/ghost4j-0.5.0.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=ghost4j -Dversion=0.5.0 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=xmlgraphics-commons -Dversion=1.4 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/commons-io-1.3.1.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=commons-io -Dversion=1.3.1 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar -Packaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=log4j -Dversion=1.2.15 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=commons-beanutils -Dversion=1.8.3 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=commons-logging -Dversion=1.1.1 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/itext-2.1.7.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=itext -Dversion=2.1.7 -DaddToPom=true /usr/bin/mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ghost4j-0.5.0/lib/jna-3.3.0.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgroupId=org.ghost4j -DartifactId=jna -Dversion=3.3.0 -DaddToPom=true More commands, fine, but command line also leads to automation.
