Bash Completion for Maven

Join For FreeBased on a blog post by John Hitchings on the WealthFront Engineering web site, I started looking into bash completion.
As a Java developer, I use Maven from the command-line quite a bit, so I decided to add bash completion for the ‘mvn’ command.
The following script works great on OS X, and should work in bash on other systems as well.
Happy completion!
_mvn()
{
local cur prev opts
COMPREPLY=()
cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
prev="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}"
opts="clean compile package install"
if [[ ${cur} == * ]] ; then
COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${opts}" ${cur}) )
return 0
fi
}
complete -F _mvn mvn
