Thanks for posting Jason.
I just can't live without the maven-cli-plugin now that I have tasted its
fruits. Subsequent commands are lightening fast and you can leave the
command prompt open for days, so you almost forget what it is like to run
Maven from the commandline.
Note, however, that if you change the POM, you will need to restart the
prompt. That bit me on one occasion. I couldn't figure out why the build
kept fetching a dependency I had removed. So just take note of that.
