Create homebrew formula for easy installation on OSX

[Andrew S]

It seems fairly easy to add a formula to homebrew.

This would increase the uptake of mvnvm by lazy OSX users like me.

[Andrew S]

This formula I wrote seems to do the job:

require "formula"

# Homebrew formula to install mvnvm, the Maven Version Manager, see http://mvnvm.org

class Mvnvm < Formula
  homepage "http://mvnvm.org"
  url "https://bitbucket.org/mjensen/mvnvm/get/master.tar.gz"
  version "0.1"  # Bump this when master contains a change to distribute
  sha1 "8a005f44895844f4d705cdaaf27104f16e752482" # brew install tells us if wrong or missing

  def install
    bin.install "mvn" # Sets the executable flag for us
    ohai "If you previously installed mvnvm manually, please remove it using `rm -f ~/bin/mvn`"
    ohai "And if you have any other Maven installations on your path, remove them too."
    ohai ""
    ohai "Running `mvn -version` should now output something like `[MVNVM] Using maven: x.y.z`, etc."
  end

  conflicts_with 'maven',
    :because => 'instead of installing Maven via Homebrew, you should use mvnvm to manage your Maven versions.'

  test do
    # Run the test with `brew test mvnvm`
    system "mvn", "-version"
  end
end

It tells Homebrew to install the latest archive from the master branch as version 0.1. Homebrew will download the latest version whenever we bump the synthetic version number in this formula.

@mjensen, are you happy for me to submit a PR to the Homebrew folks?

[Andrew S]

I don't seem to be able to assign this issue to myself, happy for anyone else to do that.

[Andrew S]

AMPS users will also need to set ATLAS_MVN=/usr/local/bin/mvn.

I have changed the permissions so this issue can be assigned to you. Go ahead and PR the formula to brew!

Opened PR 32108 on GitHub.

Oh hold pending PR approval by the Homebrew team.
