About:
Mvnvm is a lightweight, shell-based version manager for Apache Maven, inspired by tools like nvm. It allows developers to install, manage, and switch between multiple versions of Maven on a per-project or global basis without complex setup.

Key Features:

Install and switch between multiple Maven versions on demand
Per-project version configuration via .mvnvm file
Zero-dependency, shell-script based implementation
Automatic download and management of Maven distributions

Use Cases:

Managing different Maven versions across multiple legacy and modern Java projects
CI/CD pipeline configuration where specific Maven versions are required per build
Testing build compatibility across various Maven releases

Alternatives:

Maven Wrapper – Embeds a specific Maven version in the project; mvnvm allows dynamic switching without project modification
SDKMAN! – Broader ecosystem manager for JVM tools; mvnvm is Maven-specific and lighter weight
