smvn

Execute Maven commands from sub directories of Maven projects.

When executing Maven commands that require the POM (most do), you normally need to change to the directory that contains the pom.xml file, or specify the -f option.

With smvn, you can execute Maven commands from any sub directory of your project, it will find the POM for you.

Installation

Download the script, put in on your $PATH and make it executable.

cd ~/bin
wget https://raw.github.com/fhd/smvn/master/smvn
chmod +x smvn

Usage

Just execute Maven commands like you normally would, using smvn instead of mvn.
