Is it possible to run a Bash script from Maven?

Question

For creating configuration of my application I need to run bash script. Is it possible to integrate execution of Bash scripts in Maven, maybe there are some plugins?

Answer 1

To experiment with commands you can use exec:exec:

$ mvn exec:exec -q -Dexec.executable=echo -Dexec.args="your   arguments"
your arguments

$ mvn exec:exec -q -Dexec.executable=echo -Dexec.args="'your   arguments'"
your   arguments

This demonstrates:

• passing arguments: if you need to pass several arguments: just split them with space
• if you need to pass an argument with spaces: enclose it in quotes, as you would do in bash script/terminal
• -q to shut up the mvn log
