.bat script with maven command

[Miroslav Benko]

Hi, I need help.
Sorry if I question incorporate the bad section.

I created .bat script for my application with maven commands.
code looks like this

@echo off
title Rooms and Furniture
cd \
echo cd
pause
cd Users\marti_000\workspace Maven\RoomsAndFurniture
echo I am in apk folder
pause
mvn clean
echo mavenClean
mvn package
echo mavenPackage
pause
java -cp target/RoomsAndFurniture-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar sk.MartinMedved.RoomsAndFurniture.MyMain
echo javaApkRun
pause

Well, after the command mvn clean cmd is automatically terminated. If the command mvn clean miss, so cmd closes after the command mvn package. And next commands are executed. Why?
Thanks for answer

Miroslav,
When doing OS level scripting, you need to check the return code for whether a command succeeded for failed. On Windows, you use error level to do this. That lets you put in an if statement to prevent subsequent commands from being run.

I solve it with this edited commands:

call mvn clean, call mvn package

The solution worked because "mvn" is not an executable, it is a batch file (mvn.bat). In Windows, if one batch file invokes another directly, when the invoked batch file finishes, script run ends. If you want the calling batch file to continue after the invoked batch file ends, you must use the "call" command.

In general, most Java "apps" are really batch files. And I have been bitten by this same issue more than I care to admit.
