Invoking custom Maven applications 🔗

Deder provides a convenient way to invoke JARs from Maven as part of your build.
This can be useful for checking formatting, generating code etc.

mvnApps = new Mapping {
  ["myapp"] = new MvnApp {
    dep = "com.example:myapp:1.0.0"
    mainClass = "com.example.myapp.Main"
    args {
      // e.g. pass in some arguments to the main class
      "someparameter"
      ...m.sources.toList().map((src) -> "\(m.root)/\(src)")
    }
  }
}

then you can invoke the app from your build like this:

deder exec -t runMvnApp myapp some_additional_args

Note that some_additional_args will be appended to the args defined in the MvnApp.
