[m2] Getting Command Line inside a Mojo

["Stevenson, Chris" <Ch...@DrKW.com>]

Dear All,
 
Does anyone know what is the best way to execute a native command in a mojo?
I've seen a couple of Mojo's using the CommandLine class in: 
 
org.apache.maven.it.cli

Is that the recommended method?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris

I will add this to Brett's comment:
- if you just need to execute a command line and do not much more, you
can maybe use the exec or execute plugin (found in mojo-sandbox)
(http://mojo.codehaus.org)
- special case: if you need to execute a SDK command
($JAVA_HOME/bin/yourcommand), you migth want to look at the keytool
and javadoc plugins.
- I really hope commons-exec to become more usable and the preferred
way to run commands later one. Today it does most of what plexus cli
does. It will do a little bit more one day. Read the dev@commons
archive mailing list for more info. Once commons-dev is released, I
will at least retrofit it into all the plugins I wrote.

Cheers,

Jerome

This has been discussed a few times before. Yes, this is a reasonable
library for doing so, but has some limitations. You can also use
Runtime.exec (even more limitations), or help out with the pre-alpha
library jakarta commons-exec.
