------------------------------------------------------------
I'm spread pretty thin already on my side-projects and I'm not very
knowledgeable about Maven or GVM beyond the user level. I'd be *very* happy to
beta test something, but I'm not going to be able to contribute it.
I really like GVM and it installs almost all the command-line JVM tools I need
(I'm Groovy-focused, but still do Java, of course) The biggest thing missing
from it in my opinion is Maven. Unfortunately, the GVM maintainer doesn't see
Maven as a "Groovy" tool -- so I don't see that happening.
Conversely, installing and keeping Maven up-to-date is more difficult than it
should be and GVM (or something much like GVM would be a big improvement). I
don't like using Brew for Java tools, but it seems like the best option for Mac
OS, but I can't use it on the server.
Anyway, I'm just making a suggestion that I think would help everyone in the
ecosystem.

> Support installation of Maven via GVM (Groovy Versions Manager)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5749
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5749
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Deployment
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Environment: Mac OS & *NIX
> Reporter: Sean Gilligan
>
> Installing and managing Maven versions could be made much easier with GVM.
> GVM works great for managing Groovy, Grails, and Gradle versions. As far as I
> know there is no technical reason it couldn't install and manage Maven as
> well.
> The GVM developers have no plans to add support for 'maven', but they may
> accept a contribution. In the meantime I'm using Homebrew on Mac OS X, but
> GVM would be much nicer.
