This is a few helpers for using compilation mode in Emacs with maven.
If you're maven is in a nonstandard location, (setq mvn-command "/path/to/ant -emacs")
If you're build doesn't use “pom.xml”, you'll need to modify mvn-command to end with with -f or --file and also do (setq mvn-build-file-name "somethingelse.xml") so that the automated project root discovery works correctly.
Put mvn.el in your load-path and add (require 'mvn) to your .emacs
The basic operation is to invoke M-x mvn, which will ask you for a goal.
M-x mvn-last will re-issue the last command
M-x mvn-compile will run the standard mvn compile
M-x mvn-clean will run the standard mvn clean
M-x mvn-test will run the standard mvn test
mvn can be called non-interactively too, in which case it's called as such: (mvn "sometask"). This means that you can can define your own functions like mvn-compile for your projects:
(defun mvn-compile-full ()
(interactive)
(mvn "dependency:sources"))
M-x mvn-kill-cache kills the internal cache used to speed up the auto-completion of ant tasks in the mini-buffer.
In the future, I'd really like to build a more general mode for working with Java code–something like malabar-mode, but without a lot of the semantic stuff it does. Minimal requirements:
1. It needs to support navigation really well (jtags does a decent to good job here)
2. It needs to be able to find code in source jars (if available)
3. It needs to have a built in way to launch a REPL (clojure, jython, sisc) for experimental programming purposes
4. Run test at point/file
5. List possible maven goals
