Not sure if Maven has a plugin for this (I'm sure someone else will step in with the proper Maven approach), but you can certainly run them via Ant tags in your maven scripts. Here's an example from a Windows environment:
... <exec executable="db2cmd.exe"> <arg line="/c /w"/> <arg line="${db2commandfile}"/> <arg line="${db2args}"/> <arg line=">${db2logfile} 2>&1"/> </exec> ... Doco for the exec tag in Ant: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/exec.html Hope this helps.

Is maven not built to do that, is it simply something for the java-centric world or did I just not see that capability? We are attempting to use it as the principle part in migrating an old application to java and I am looking to see if it can execute some of the commands necessary for making a build happen. I can't really find a maven lexicon of commands aside from the plugins(or did are the plugins the source of command infrastructure?) ############################################################################ ######### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by NetIQ MailMarshal ############################################################################ ######### ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by NetIQ MailMarshal #####################################################################################
