Maven package .bat script: how to add a delay?

Question

I have this .bat script which I use to maven package my application. Problem is, just after it ends execution, it closes the console window. The last 2 lines somehow are completely ignored.

Does anyone know the trick to make this work? I just want to have a quick check if the build was successful.

@echo off
cls
cd C:\svn\project
mvn package -o -P local
sleep 3
pause

Answer 1

You could try to write

call mvn package -o -P local
