Stop! You might already have a #Maven repository and not even know it!

Before you go setting up a separate server, discover how your existing Git host (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Codeberg) could be the Maven repository you've been looking for.

Learn how to leverage your current setup and simplify your Java artifact management.

I deleted my #Maven account today. Despite putting tons of time into it, it's setup leaves you in bubble based on the topics you follow.

The GradleX java-module-dependencies plugin/extension is now also available for Maven!

The solution extracts dependencies from module-info.java files so that you do not need to repeat them in build.gradle or pom.xml files.

What's new in Maven 4?

#Java #maven

Maven 4: Still XML. Still boring. Still Winning.

What's so ugly about Maven?
Oh, right, XML. The ancient language feared by the hipster cult of Gradle.

But let's be honest:
You don't write build files every day. You come back after months, forget everything, and now… you're debugging a Groovy poem.
Maven? You squint at the XML, and boom. Autocomplete, structure, sanity.

Maven 4? Still XML. Still boring. Still… Winning at automations.
Yes there are more features, and yes you can use other DSL's than XML with polyglot or any other extension like also before.
Something new and interesting could be the BOM packaging and requirement of java 17. You can always build lower stuff also with 17. It's simply Java.

My killer feature of Maven:
Stable, sandboxed plugins, run directly from the command line. No need to create bloated build files.
No copy-pasting the same config into 12 submodules and repositories.
All automated. All under my control.
No need to depend on the next third party cloud elf named like dependabot.
Or an SDK Man for switching java versions.
All I need is simply a JAR file and a build tool which does not disrupt me.

Favourite Maven Spells - aka plugins running on my CI without defining them:
mvn wrapper:wrapper - Because of consistency, no jar binary inside my repo.
mvn dependency:tree - See who brought the uninvited guests.
mvn versions:update-properties - Auto-update without the bots.
mvn license:add-third-party - keep track of used licenses
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check - Security without sacrifice.
[...]

Stop waiting for the next shiny thing, you can always contribute to any tool.
Start building. Or better automate it.

I'm working on enabling the #DigiPres parts of our org by making some of the #COPTR Tool Grid apps available securely in a managed #Windows environment - first cab off the rank is a #Java app with bundled #JRE, which won't play well with our env

does anyone have experience using #maven & #jpackage as part of a build pipeline to create OS-native installers? my short-term target is a Windows MSI, but once that's in place the same pipeline should be able to spit out native installers for macOS (which we also use) & Linux (which we don't - yet )

I'm at the point where I'm about to clone the repo & start tinkering but would much rather re-use something already built than figure it out from docs & example code...

Maven build plan and execution order

#Java #maven

I'm trying to publish my first #Java library on maven central. I am able to find it at central.sonatype.com and maven can resolve it from there.

But I can't find it neither on https://search.maven.org nor on https://mvnrepository.com. It is a release version (not a snapshot), it is GPG signed and there are source and javadoc jars too.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
