Do you use mvn on a bash prompt?
Update Sunday 26 April 2015, 01:36:51 PM: renamed my github repos where these files are stored.
Here is my bash version of the DOS script I wrote about in Do you use mvn on a DOS prompt?.
Do you use mvn on a bash prompt? Sick of having to scroll through a tiny bash prompt looking for an error amongst thousands of lines of output? Sick of not being able to search through the log? Want to save logs for future reference?
Well, look no further! I have written raven.sh, a wrapper around mvn that does one thing: saves the output to a file (which still gets displayed on the console) and opens the file in your favourite text editor.
The script itself includes instructions for setting up dependencies (not much set up) and how to use the script.
You can also see this script in GitHub: https://github.com/robertmarkbram/RobUtils/blob/master/tools/maven/raven.sh which is where I shall keep it updated. Pastebin too.

# -- What is Raven?
# A Bash wrapper around mvn to save output to file and open it in an editor

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set-up Dependencies first.
# - This script
# - Save this script as raven.sh in some folder you like to use for utilities etc.
# - Add the path (folder/directory name) where this script lives to your PATH (*see note 1*).
# - Otherwise you will have to use the absolute path to this script: e.g. "/C/myApps/Batch/raven" instead of just "raven".
# - Maven
# - Download it from: http://maven.apache.org/
# - Set M2_HOME variable (*see note 1*) or LOCAL_M2_HOME in this script.
# - Java
# - Download and install it from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
# - Set JAVA_HOME variable (*see note 1*) or LOCAL_JAVA_HOME in this script.
# - tee (to send output to file and console)
# - Should already be part of Cygwin/nix install.
# - Your favourite text editor.
# - This script defaults to notepad. If you like it, do nothing.
# - If you want to use something else, set EDITOR in this script
# - Because we are *nix, you can set it to vim or less as well.
# - Temp dir
# - This script defaults to ${TEMP}/maven.
# - If you want to use something else, set TMPDIR in this script
#
# How to use this script.
# - Instead of using "mvn", just use "raven", e.g.
# raven clean deploy
# /C/myApps/Batch/raven clean deploy
#
# Note 1 - changing PATH or other environment variables on Win7 and above: two options.
# - OPTION 1: Start button > Search for "Environment Variables for your account" > modify PATH (or other variable) in top section, "user variables for USERNAME"
# - No re-boot required, just restart the DOS prompt.
# - PATH is set only for your user. Other logged users will not see it.
# - OPTION 2: Start button > Search for "Edit the System Environment Variables" > Environment Variables > modify PATH (or other variable) in bottom section, "System Variables"
# - Re-boot required.
# - PATH is set for all logged in users.

# Thursday 08 January 2015, 04:57:36 PM
# - Adapted so that shell version works the same way as batch version.
# - Modified the way this script looks for maven and java such that it always uses local versions first.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -- Variables for this script.
# Edit these variables - dependencies of this script.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Could be vim or less too.
