[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5776) Drop support for Win9x in mvn launch scripts

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5776?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14483982#comment-14483982 ] 

Andreas Gudian commented on MNG-5776:
-------------------------------------

.bat and .cmd have slightly different handlings of @setlocal / @endlocal and script invocations with "call". It's minor stuff, and, to be honest, I didn't see the problems with the invoker coming... (my local tests seem to have had some untidy PATH, so that the call to "mvn.bat" in maven-invoker based tests still worked)

> The scripts mvn.bat / mvnDebug.bat contain a lot of clutter to maintain compatibility with Win9x/ME and the "4NT shell".
> Removing support for both will make the scripts a bit more maintainable and allow to reduce the duplication found in mvn.bat and mvnDebug.bat, which could also be renamed to *.cmd.
