# mvn plugin The mvn plugin provides many [useful aliases](#aliases) as well as completion for the [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) command (`mvn`). Enable it by adding `mvn` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... mvn) ``` ## Aliases The plugin aliases mvn to a function that calls `mvnw` (the [Maven Wrapper](https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper)) if it's found, or the mvn command otherwise. | Alias | Command | |:---------------------|:------------------------------------------------| | `mvn!` | `mvn -f <root>/pom.xml` | | `mvnag` | `mvn archetype:generate` | | `mvnboot` | `mvn spring-boot:run` | | `mvnqdev` | `mvn quarkus:dev` | | `mvnc` | `mvn clean` | | `mvncd` | `mvn clean deploy` | | `mvnce` | `mvn clean eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse` | | `mvnci` | `mvn clean install` | | `mvncie` | `mvn clean install eclipse:eclipse` | | `mvncini` | `mvn clean initialize` | | `mvncist` | `mvn clean install -DskipTests` | | `mvncisto` | `mvn clean install -DskipTests --offline` | | `mvncom` | `mvn compile` | | `mvncp` | `mvn clean package` | | `mvnct` | `mvn clean test` | | `mvncv` | `mvn clean verify` | | `mvncvst` | `mvn clean verify -DskipTests` | | `mvnd` | `mvn deploy` | | `mvndocs` | `mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc` | | `mvndt` | `mvn dependency:tree` | | `mvne` | `mvn eclipse:eclipse` | | `mvnfmt` | `mvn fmt:format` | | `mvnjetty` | `mvn jetty:run` | | `mvnp` | `mvn package` | | `mvns` | `mvn site` | | `mvnsrc` | `mvn dependency:sources` | | `mvnt` | `mvn test` | | `mvntc` | `mvn tomcat:run` | | `mvntc7` | `mvn tomcat7:run` | | `mvn-updates` | `mvn versions:display-dependency-updates` | ## mvn-color It's a function that wraps the mvn command to colorize it's output. You can use it in place of the `mvn` command. For example: instead of `mvn test`, use `mvn-color test`. Since [Maven 3.5.0](https://maven.apache.org/docs/3.5.0/release-notes.html) the mvn command has colored output, so this function will be soon removed from the plugin. ### Known bugs It has a bug where it will swallow mvn prompts for user input, _e.g._ when using `archetype:generate`. See [#5052](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/5052).
