Run

Mavenzilla currently runs as command line application. At the moment, it just shows the search results including the artifact's group, name, type and version. For planned features take a look at Future Development.

The simplest way of running Mavenzilla is to change into the project's bin/ directory and run the script. 

cd <project directory on your computer>/bin

./mavenzilla <url> <type> <pattern>

On Windows, instead of ./mavenzilla just type mavenzilla.

Example

./mavenzilla http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/ jar commons-lang

Command line arguments

The command line arguments of Mavenzilla are:

url

The url of the remote repository. Currently only browseable remote repositories via http are supported. The URL must end with a "/".

type

The type of the artifact, like "jar".

pattern

A text that occurs in the name of the artifact group.

Making the life easier

To make it easier working with Mavenzilla, you can put the bin/ directory into the PATH, on Unix for example in the file ~/.profile: 

echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/mavenzilla/bin;export" PATH >> ~/.profile
