Description Andreas Höhmann CLA 2011-01-01 12:06:58 EST 
It would be nice to have a interactive mvn console with autocompletion etc. I found this feature request (from 2008) here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-683.

I'm trying to create a first protype for this "org.eclipse.m2e.shell".

I imagine the following commands:

- help (of course *g*) - show all available shell commands
- show runtimes - list all installed maven runtimes (MavenPlugin.getDefault().getMavenRuntimeManager().getMavenRuntimes())
- show runtime - shows informations about the current selected runtime like version, settings-location etc.
- select runtime <runtime-index> - select a runtime for the following commands
- cd <..|PROJEC|PATH> - change current directory/project
- more ... any ideas?

I would prefer a extension point for available maven shell commands - so other "m2e plugins" can provide here functions to the shell too.
