Why does only the first line of this Windows batch file execute but all three lines execute in a command shell?

by

I have a batch file that executes three Maven commands, one after the other. Each command can be successfully executed in the script – by itself!. But when I add all three commands to the same file, only the first one executes before the script exits. Any idea why?

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=base -Dversion=1.0 -Dfile=gdata-base-1.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=blogger -Dversion=2.0 -Dfile=gdata-blogger-2.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=gdata -DartifactId=blogger-meta -Dversion=2.0 -Dfile=gdata-blogger-meta-2.0.jar  -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

Also, if I copy all three commands and paste them into a command shell (cmd.exe), they execute one after the other with no problem. So this is apparently some issue with the dos batch file.
