Maven - Maven is good at building Java projects in a cross-platform way. It manages dependencies, and actually the whole life cycle of a project. This is an ansible-role to install Maven.

Requirements

This role was built for Ubuntu Trusty or RedHat systems like RHEL/Centos 7. It needs dockpack.base_java8.

Role Variables

You can set the maven_version:, now 3.6.3

There are 3 variables that you would store in a vault file:

mvn_master_password:

mvn_repo_username:

mvn_repo_password:

Dependencies

Maven needs Java8. This role depends on dockpack.base_java8, which will be installed automatically if you use this one.

Manual use of Maven

mvn -X deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=$GROUPID -DartifactId=$FILENAME -Dversion=$VERSION -DgeneratePom=true -Dpackaging=jar -DrepositoryId="0ss-releases" -Durl="https://repo.example.com/path/releases" -Dfile=redis.jar
