Maven Bash Completion

Maven by default does not distribute with a Bash auto completion script, only a very simple guide is provided. This script gives you more to help your daily Maven build.

Installation

  • Download bash_completion.bash and save it to any place you want, like ~/.maven_bash_completion.bash.
  • Make your login shell load the script automatically by adding the line below to ~/.bash_profile (note the space after dot):
    . ~/.maven_bash_completion.bash

$ mvn [TAB][TAB] (list all common used lifecycle phases)

$ mvn ar[TAB][TAB] (complete to 'archetype:')
$ mvn depe[TAB][TAB] (complete to 'dependency:')
