[jira] Commented: (MNG-3368) Printing version (-v argument) should not stop lifecycle execution

["Paul Benedict (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_122063 ] 

Paul Benedict commented on MNG-3368:
------------------------------------

I believe the fix is easy. Two use cases have to be supported:
1) If --version and no phase specified, then print version and quit. This prevents the "You must specify at least one goal" message.
2) If --version and phase(s) specified, then print version and continue.

The change needs to be made in org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli

Line 142 has this:
if ( commandLine.hasOption( CLIManager.VERSION ) )
{
    showVersion();
    if ( // *** Add second condition ) {
      return 0;
    }
}

> I wanted to always print the Maven version when I build, but unfortunately Maven immediately quits after outputting the version. This option should not quit when a lifecycle is also specified. Example: mvn -v install
