maven-settings-xml-action

Github Action to create maven settings (~/.m2/settings.xml).

Supports <servers>, <repositories>, <pluginRepositories>, <mirrors>, and <profiles>.

Inputs

servers

Optional json array of servers to add to settings.xml.

• id - The ID of the server (not of the user to login as) that matches the id element of the repository/mirror that Maven tries to connect to.
• username - Required to authenticate to this server.
• password - Required to authenticate to this server.

Reference: Maven Settings > Servers

mirrors

• id - The unique identifier of this mirror. The id is used to differentiate between mirror elements and to pick the corresponding credentials from the <servers> section when connecting to the mirror.
• mirrorOf - The id of the repository that this is a mirror of. For example, to point to a mirror of the Maven central repository (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/), set this element to central. More advanced mappings like repo1,repo2 or *,!inhouse are also possible. This must not match the mirror id.
• url - The base URL of this mirror. The build system will use this URL to connect to a repository rather than the original repository URL.

Reference: Maven Settings > Mirrors

repositories

Optional json array of repositories to add to settings.xml

• id - The ID of the repository that matches the id element of the server.
• name - Name of the repository.
• url - URL to connect to repository.
• releases.enabled - Enable release policy.
• snapshots.enabled - Enable snapshot policy.

Reference: Maven Settings > Plugin Repositories

plugin_repositories

Optional json array of repositories to add to settings.xml

• id - The ID of the repository that matches the id element of the server.
• name - Name of the repository.
• url - URL to connect to repository.
• releases.enabled - Enable release policy.
• snapshots.enabled - Enable snapshot policy.

Reference: Maven Settings > Repositories

profiles

Optional json array of profiles to add to settings.xml

The profile element in the settings.xml is a truncated version of the pom.xml profile element. It consists of the activation, repositories, pluginRepositories and properties elements. The profile elements only include these four elements because they concerns themselves with the build system as a whole (which is the role of the settings.xml file), not about individual project object model settings.
