Simple build extension for Maven 3.0.2 or newer which notifies the user when a build is complete.
Currently supported on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (through various notification senders) and on all systems running Java 6.
Pre-built versions of the notifier are available in the releases area .
Download the latest jar and place it to the lib/ext directory of your Maven installation.
If you prefer to built the notifier yourself, download a copy of the sources, and then from within the directory:
mvn package
The resulting jar will be located in target/desktop-maven-notifier-*.jar.
On Linux Maven Desktop Notifier uses notify-send and, where available, kdialog. Tests were performed on Gnome 3, KDE 4 and Unity
but other compliant implementations, for instance those provided by Cinnamon and Xfce, should work just fine.
Maven Desktop Notifier uses the Notification Center.
On Mac OS X 10.9 or higher, Maven Desktop Notifier uses osascript unless terminal-notifier has been installed.
On Mac OS X 10.8, Maven Desktop Notifier uses terminal-notifier. Installation instructions for terminal-notifier can be found
here.
There is preliminary support for Windows 7 and 8 using Snarl.
If none of the notification senders described above are available on your machine, or if simply you're running a different operating system, Maven Desktop Notifier will fallback to using the Java System Tray mechanism for displaying pop-ups. This requires Java 6 or newer.
