Why does only the first line of this Windows batch file execute but all three lines execute in a command shell

Question

I have a batch file that executes three Maven commands  one after the other  Each command can be successfully executed in the script - by itself   But when I add all three commands to the same file  only the first one executes before the script exits  Any idea why   mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId base -Dversion 1 0 -Dfile gdata-base-1 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId blogger -Dversion 2 0 -Dfile gdata-blogger-2 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId blogger-meta -Dversion 2 0 -Dfile gdata-blogger-meta-2 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true   Also  if I copy all three commands and paste them into a command shell  cmd exe   they execute one after the other with no problem  So this is apparently some issue with the dos batch file

It should be that the particular mvn command execs and does not return  thereby not executing the rest of the commands

Dos commands in my batch file were running only when I type EXIT in command DOS window  This problem solved when I removed CMD from batch file  No need of it

Try writing the following batch file and executing it   Echo one cmd Echo two cmd Echo three cmd   Only the first two lines get executed  But if you type  exit  at the command prompt  the next two lines are processed  It s a shell loading another     To be sure that this is not what is happening in your script  just type  exit  when the first command ends   HTH

Maven uses batch files to do its business   With any batch script  you must call another script using the call command so it knows to return back to your script after the called script completes   Try prepending call to all commands   Another thing you could try is using the start command which should work similarly

To execute more Maven builds from one script you shall use the Windows call function in the following way   call mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId base -Dversion 1 0 -Dfile gdata-base-1 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true call mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId blogger -Dversion 2 0 -Dfile gdata-blogger-2 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true call mvn install install-file -DgroupId gdata -DartifactId blogger-meta -Dversion 2 0 -Dfile gdata-blogger-meta-2 0 jar  -Dpackaging jar -DgeneratePom true
