Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7541:
-------------------------------------

I'd be in favor to review a PR. One issue is though that some of our components might explicitly call {{mvn.cmd}}.

>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Command Line
>    Affects Versions: 3.8.3
>         Environment: windows 10 / 11

> Maven has two files in the bin dir:
> ||command||its use||
> |mvn|POSIX shell|
> |mvn.cmd|cmd.exe|
> On windows there are two ways to write scripts, by using cmd.exe or using powershell.
> If you enter mvn in powershell it will look for `mvn.ps1` on the PATH first. If it doesn't find anything it will execute `mvn.cmd` as fall-back.
> When running maven for starting a server for development purposes and you do ctrl-c to exit the server it will ask the question: Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
> As far as I know it is default behaviour of cmd.exe.
> Well if I don't want to terminate, I wouldn't press ctrl-c. ;)
> It is not the case (as far as I know that Microsoft is going to deprecate cmd.exe in favor of powershell: [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/rumors-of-cmds-death-have-been-greatly-exaggerated/]
> Allthough I think it would be a good move for maven to have also a powershell script as well... It is possible to integrate elegant support for native help in powershell, `get-help mvn`.
> But it also increases the maintenance effort as well. I don't know whether this cost outweigh the benefits, though...
> By the way I would happy to contribute if it is appreciated.
