Some mvn jbang:run Blah.java command

[mickaelistria]

Currently, to use JBang, one has to install it. In many environments, jbang might not be directly available where mvn might be available. Would it be possible (and interesting) to get a command to wrap jbang into Maven so that it could be used directly through CLI for any Java file, without even requiring a preliminary install nor a pom.xml ?

@mickaelistria have you tried running the maven plugin? It does not require running from within a maven project.

The maven plugin can both download JBang and execute scripts via the mvn command - https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang-maven-plugin

mvn dev.jbang:jbang-maven-plugin:0.0.8:run -Djbang.script="helloworld/helloworld.java"

To see all the properties available, take a look at the RunMojo - https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang-maven-plugin/blob/main/src/main/java/dev/jbang/RunMojo.java.

OK, that seems exactly what I had in mind. I clearly didn't search enough before posting... Sorry for the noise.

No worries. These JBang guys have usually thought of everything :)
