I have a batch file that executes three Maven commands, one after the other.

I have a batch file that executes three Maven commands, one after the other. Each command can be successfully executed in the script – by itself!. But when I add all three commands to the same file, only the first one executes before the script exits. Any idea why?

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=base -Dversion=1.0 -Dfile=gdata-base-1.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=blogger -Dversion=2.0 -Dfile=gdata-blogger-2.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=blogger-meta -Dversion=2.0 -Dfile=gdata-blogger-meta-2.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

Also, if I copy all three commands and paste them into a command shell (cmd.exe), they execute one after the other with no problem. So this is apparently some issue with the dos batch file.

    Maven uses batch files to do its business. With any batch script, you must call another script using the call command so it knows to return back to your script after the called script completes. Try prepending call to all commands.

    Another thing you could try is using the start command which should work similarly.
