amvn

amvn (awesome maven) wraps Maven to add change detection and automatic rebuild.

Installation

Install the library via npm:

npm install amvn -g

Usage

> amvn clean compile ... --watch
[AMVN] make maven awesome
[AMVN] watching for src/main/resources changes...
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building wtf 1.0.0
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO]
...

amvn accepts the additional --watch argument to copy resources / reload maven on source changes.

It does not actually care what you execute via Maven. Make sure you have a lean and quick build process yourself.

How it works

amvn keeps the running application in sync with your sources

• keeping target/classes up to date with src/main/resources
• reloading the underlying mvn instance on changes in src/main/java

Use it with modern web development stacks that bootstrap fast.
