Christoph Läubrich created MNG-8608:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to find running maven processes similar to
jps command
Key: MNG-8608
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8608
Project: Maven
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
Java provides a [jps
command|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/jps.html] to list all
running java processes.
It would be useful to have such capability for maven as well, as an example I
like to call:
{code}mvn -ps{code}
and get a list of maven processes running on the system, it should include:
# the process id
# the workdirectory
# the session execution root directory
# the maven version
How this is archived, could be platform specific like it is for jps, and it
might not discover all maven processes but only those for the current user.
*+Why is this useful needed:+*
* Currently a maven build do not perform any way of locking so one can easily
run two maven processes working on the same project tree
* But due to how maven works this can only end in disaster (e.g. one process
clean what the other has build) or at best result in some strange state if two
maven processes run in parallel
* Currently there is no way for an IDE to prevent interference with running
maven processes that work on the same file tree
Because of this maven should detect other processes running in the same
file-tree and either wait or refuse execution.
