Review Comment:
No, we don't have such a message with the other scripts. From my point of
view if the maven command can't be found, the script must stop and print an
error so the problem can be resolved.
Although this would be an edge case.
> Native support for PowerShell to start Maven
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-7541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7541
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.8.3
> Environment: windows 10 / 11
> Reporter: Jurrian Fahner
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: Script, Windows10, Windows11
>
> Maven has two files in the bin dir:
> ||command||its use||
> |mvn|POSIX shell|
> |mvn.cmd|cmd.exe|
> On windows there are two ways to write scripts, by using cmd.exe or using
> powershell.
> If you enter mvn in powershell it will look for `mvn.ps1` on the PATH first.
> If it doesn't find anything it will execute `mvn.cmd` as fall-back.
> When running maven for starting a server for development purposes and you do
> ctrl-c to exit the server it will ask the question: Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
> As far as I know it is default behaviour of cmd.exe.
> Well if I don't want to terminate, I wouldn't press ctrl-c. ;)
> It is not the case (as far as I know that Microsoft is going to deprecate
> cmd.exe in favor of powershell:
> [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/rumors-of-cmds-death-have-been-greatly-exaggerated/]
> Allthough I think it would be a good move for maven to have also a powershell
> script as well... It is possible to integrate elegant support for native help
> in powershell, `get-help mvn`.
> But it also increases the maintenance effort as well. I don't know whether
> this cost outweigh the benefits, though...
> By the way I would happy to contribute if it is appreciated.
