The wrapper script is somehow better in a multi-user environment because it is common for all users, so they don't have to modify their own ~/.bash_profile. To sum up: ~/.bash_profile is good because it lets a user define his own settings A common script is good because it lets all users on a system have the same settings for maven, which is good if they ALL need the same settings. Using some global initialization file, like /etc/bash/bashrc has the same advantages as the common script file, but also has the advantage that it sets the settings only once, and not every time mvn is executed. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
