Long and interesting but harmless Terminal script
Hi,


I was mucking around with Maven for Eclipse the other day, working on an audio visual project and I was struck by how cool the terminal executing massive amounts of commands is.

I have an odd request. I was wondering if people knew of a terminal script that outputed a lot of data, ideally varied and interesting data (not just text), but which didn't really do anything to one's computer.

I would ideally use this as a live video filter in my VJ work - or alternatively try and screen record the resulting output.

What would infact be even better, is if I could somehow create a screen grab of each new line outputed in terminal then comp those individual screen grabs into a movie file.


Strange request I realise - but any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.

mvn_build

MVN_BUILD(7)							Java Packages Tools						      MVN_BUILD(7)

NAME

       mvn_build - build Maven project with XMvn

SYNOPSIS

       %mvn_build [options] [-- Maven-arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       mvn_build macro builds Maven project by calling XMvn and generates reactor structure information to be used by mvn_install.

       By default Maven phase verify and goal javadoc:aggregate are executed, as well as some additional XMvn-specific goals or phases. If -f is
       specified then phase package is executed instead of verify. If -j is given then goal javadoc:aggregate is skipped.

       Any arguments after -- are passed directly to XMvn. See xmvn(1) for more information on availability of XMvn options.

OPTIONS

       -d, --xmvn-debug
	   Enable XMvn debugging output. This option causes XMvn to write verbose debugging information to standard output. Debugging information
	   includes at least details about artifact resolution from system repositories.

       -f, --force
	   Skip compilation and execution of unit and integration tests, as well as resolution of build dependencies with scope test. This option
	   causes Maven phase package to be executed instead of default phase verify, defines property maven.test.skip=true which disables
	   compilation and execution of tests and causes XMvn to remove any project dependencies with scope test.

       -i, --skip-install
	   Skip artifact installation. This option disables generation of reactor structure information so that future calls to mvn_install will
	   not result in installation of artifacts produced in current Maven reactor.

       -j, --skip-javadoc
	   Skip javadoc generation. This option skips running Maven Javadoc Plugin. Useful for packages which don't want to produce Java API
	   documentation.

       -s, --singleton
	   Enable singleton packaging (one artifact per package). This option causes artifacts with identical artifactId to be installed as part
	   of the same subpackage. This behavior can be further customized by adding more specific packaging rules with mvn_package.

       -X, --debug
	   Enable Maven debugging output. Implies -d. This option causes Maven to write verbose debugging information to standard output.

ENVIRONMENT

       xmvn_bootstrap
	   Run XMvn in online mode. If xmvn_bootstrap RPM macro is defined to any value then XMvn is ran in online mode. Otherwise XMvn is ran in
	   offline mode. Online mode of XMvn allows missing dependency artifacts to be fetched from remote repositories. This behavior is mostly
	   useful when bootstrapping new packages, which dependecies have not yet been packaged.
