Easy mvn command. Work-in-progress to improve the crappy mvn interface.

mvn.sh

mvn() {
  # usage: mvn phase... -- [groupId [artifcatId [archetypeArtifactId]]] [-Dname=value]...
  local mvn=$(which mvn) || return 1
  [ ${mvn:0:1} = '/' ] || return 2
  local phases=()
  local rest=()
  local order=(groupId artifactId archetypeArtifactId)
  local n=-1
  local m=${#order[@]}
  local add=phases
  for p in "${@}"; do
    [ '--' == ${p} ] && {
      add=rest
      n=0
      continue
    }
    if ((n>=0 && n<m)); then
      if [ ${p:0:2} != '-D' ]; then
        eval "local ${order[n]}='-D${order[n]}=${p}'"
        ((n++))
      else
        rest=(${rest[@]} ${p})
      fi
    else
      eval ${add}'=(${'${add}'[@]} '${p}')'
    fi
  done

  ${mvn} ${phases[@]} ${groupId} ${artifactId} ${archetypeArtifactId} ${rest[@]}
}
