mvn shell to start shell

[paulvi]

It would be very natural to have mvn shell to start shell, instead of local build.

Could you please publish to Maven Central.

Unsure what you mean by mvn shell that would require apache-maven to integrate which isn't likely or feasible given the architecture of mvnsh presently.

I will release Maven Shell to central, but atm there are some pending unresolved SNAPSHOTS in GShell which require a bit more work before a release (likely a beta-quality release) could be made.

well, mvn shell would be a maven plugin to allow quickly download and start mvnsh.
Possibly should be other project.

Building from sources is not what everybody does, and is not what I would recommend to a team.

Then it would be more like `mvn shell:run` ftr… but i couldn’t say how well the components needed by the shell with components already loaded and exposed by Maven would function; as well as its logging control, etc wouldn’t function properly.  So not sure how viable that is in reality. Building from sources is not what everybody does, and is not what I would recommend to a team. Post release I don’t expect folks will be building from source.  Though you can use a snapshot build in the short-term. —jason
