[mojo-dev] [jira] (MEXEC-118) Cannot execute .cmd scripts on Windows

[Dan Tran (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Dan Tran commented on an issue   Re: Cannot execute .cmd scripts on Windows at java space, it is a common understanding that java cannot search for windows script without the extension at the end of the executable. The issue you see here also found at antrun and at the lowest layer under java runtimeexec The provided patch would work, but is it worth since user can use maven profile to solve it <properties> <!-- see windows profile --> <mvn.cmd>$ {maven.home}/bin/mvn</mvn.cmd> </properties> [....] <!-- sometimes we want to invoke another Maven execution during the current maven execution using antrun --> <profile> <id>windows</id> <activation> <os> <family>windows</family> </os> </activation> <properties> <mvn.cmd>${maven.home} /bin/mvn.bat</mvn.cmd> </properties> </profile> Add Comment   Mojo's Exec Maven Plugin / MEXEC-118 Cannot execute .cmd scripts on Windows The Exec Plugin cannot execure .cmd scripts on Windows. If I specify <executable>foo</executable> in my pom.xml, and there is a "foo.cmd" in my PATH, and if I can run "foo" from the Windows command line, then I expect this to work. But it doesn't.
