how to interact with system cmd line using java code

Question

I'm trying to create a Java code that creates a nifi customized processor ! so in order to do that I need to use windows cmd windows and launch mvn archetype:generate then choose the modele nifi by typing nifi then choose the project by typing1 the I need to write the groupeId, the artifact ...

I need to do all that automatically by using a java code : I tryed this code :

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStream;

public class CmdTest {
    public static void main(String[]args) throws IOException {
        String line;
        OutputStream stdin = null;
        InputStream stderr = null;
        InputStream stdout = null;

          // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
        ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(
                "cmd.exe", "/c", "cd \"C:\\users\\eya\\desktop\\javaprocessor\" && mvn archetype:generate");
            builder.redirectErrorStream(true);
            Process process = builder.start();
          stdin = process.getOutputStream ();
          stderr = process.getErrorStream ();
          stdout = process.getInputStream ();

          // "write" the parms into stdin
          line = "nifi" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "1" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "33" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "javaproceSSor" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "javaprocessor" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "javapro" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          line = "y" + "\n";
          stdin.write(line.getBytes() );
          stdin.flush();

          stdin.close();

          // clean up if any output in stdout
          BufferedReader brCleanUp =
            new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (stdout));
          while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine ()) != null) {

              System.out.println ("[Stdout] " + line);
          }
          brCleanUp.close();

          // clean up if any output in stderr
          brCleanUp =
            new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (stderr));
          while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine ()) != null) {
            System.out.println ("[Stderr] " + line);
          }
          brCleanUp.close();
    }
}

but it only read "nifi" the others no ! and here is the result :

if there is any way to generate mvn projects automatically then you are very welcome to help

EDIT: I tried this solution but I didn't know how to configure it

Answer 1

Just don't do that. The mvn command could accept all required arguments in command line so there are no interactive actions required. See the documentation on the plugin and supply parameters accordingly into single command. See http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/generate-mojo.html There is an example here: Specify archetype for archetype:generate on command line
