----------------------------------------------------------------
There is already {{org.apache.maven.cli}} in maven-embedder. The "cling"
package is just a wordplay with "cli new gen". Also, is not just "commandline",
this package contains:
* CLI support (layered, from "lookup invoker" to actual "maven invoker" that
provides mvn CLI backing)
* "one shot" maven implementation (mvn CLI tool)
* "resident" maven implementation (mvnd used)
* "maven shell" implementation (building on resident also)
* "mvnenc" CLI tool for encryption management
* and helpers around these
Person, I dislike your name proposal, and cling is just that: "(maven) cli new
gen" (as embedder and "old" MavenCli is still there, deprecated)

> Key: MNG-8511
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8511
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Command Line
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Personally I found this package name confusing. I read it as the English word
> "cling" or possibly a misremembered name of a popular C compiler (which is
> actually Clang when I googled it.) And if I was confused by this, others are
> likely to be too.
> If there's already a org.apache.maven.cli package somewhere, maybe
> org.apache.maven.commandline?
> Like all new API changes, it's now or never.
