------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 3.4.0
> "mvn" script invokes /bin/sh but requires /bin/bash functions
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-5852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5852
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.3.3
> Environment: Solaris 11
> Reporter: Jeffrey Alexander
> Assignee: Christian Schulte
> Fix For: 3.4.0
>
>
> The bin/mvn script uses the "local" command which is a shell builtin of bash
> and similar shells, but is not required for POSIX-compliance in sh. When I
> attempt to run mvn on my Solaris system, I see the following output:
> $ ./mvn
> ./mvn[200]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
> ./mvn[201]: local: not found [No such file or directory]
> ...
> Lines 200 and 201 invoke "local" to make local variables to the function.
> According to "man bash", this is a shell builtin. However, bin/mvn is
> invoked as:
> #!/bin/sh
> On most flavors of linux, this resolves to bash or dash which probably runs
> in a restricted environment after checking to see that its $0 is sh. But on
> Solaris's /bin/sh is actually ksh93 for backwards compatibility.
> Since "local" is not part of a POSIX-compliant /bin/sh, depending on it in a
> script that is invoked with /bin/sh is a bug.
