mvn

The mvn commandlet allows to install, configure, and launch maven. It is similar to maven-wrapper and mdub. So calling devon mvn «args» is more or less the same as calling mvn «args» but with the benefit that the version of maven preferred by your project is used (and will be installed if not yet available).

The arguments (devon mvn «args») are explained by the following table:

Table 1. Usage of devon mvn

Argument(s)	Meaning
	run default build, configurable via MVN_BUILD_OPTS
setup	setup Maven (install and verify), configurable via MAVEN_VERSION
get-version	Print the version of your current project. Will consolidate the version for multi-module projects ignoring dev[-SNAPSHOT] versions and fail on mixed versions.
set-version «nv» [«cv»]	Set the version of your current project to «nv» (assuming your current version is «cv»).
check-no-snapshots	Check if no «version»-SNAPSHOT dependencies are used.
check-top-level-project	Check if you are running on a top-level project or fail if in a module or no maven project at all.
release	Start a clean deploy release build, configurable via MVN_RELEASE_OPTS
«args»	run maven with the given arguments («args»)
