Detect maven build status (success/error) from a maven plugin?

You can't easily do that. Maven plugins fail by throwing a org.apache.maven.plugin. MojoExecutionException or a org.apache.maven.plugin.

MojoFailureException and you don't have a hook to listen to these exceptions. Certainly not with a plugin, because your plugin wouldn't be executed after a failure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
