XD CLI

This tiny tool wrap all the complex commands your team always use in a project and make it easy to find/use them:

$ xd 
...
COMMANDS:
   start     Execute the command: java -jar target/getting-started-1.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar
   dev       Execute the command: ./mvnw compile quarkus:dev
   ext:add   Execute the command: mvn quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="${name}"
   ext:list  Execute the command: mvn quarkus:list-extensions
   package   Execute the command: ./mvnw package
   help, h   Shows a list of commands or help for one command
...

It's close to what's provided by npm scripts or makefile. The key differences are:

lightness and simplicity
straight forward (no learning needed)
params with default values
cross-language
cross-platform
