Re: Official Maven Github Actions

[Arnaud Héritier]

I am not an expert on GitHub actions but also saw this article from Andres
which is useful to deploy to Maven Central using GitHub Actions :
https://andresalmiray.com/publishing-to-maven-central-using-apache-maven/
(useful with the shutdown of JFrog's JCentral repo)

I think it may be good for the community if we could provide some best
practices / tools such a commonly used platform

I am not sure about the "verified", when I look at the ruby one it doesn't
look to be small thing to maintain and I am not sure our team will have
such bandwidth ( https://github.com/ruby/setup-ruby )

Side note: shrinkwrap has a loadSetting (no more 100% sure of the name)
method you can use in the code if -Dmy.setting is set so you can configure
it in surefire and tomee has some too in its Mvn wrapper IIRC so can be a
simpler way to align it all - maybe even using JMX to get JVM arg and
extract -gs/-s since it is a testing tool at the end.

Re: Official Maven Github Actions

[Cesar Hernandez]

Thank you all for the feedback provided so far.

I was not aware of Maven Wrapper coming in 3.7, and also the plain sh
script seems to be right the approach the
https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-action took.
I just ping Eddú to know his feedback on the sdkman-action since it's not
even listed in the market and, from the context, I think that can easily
pass the Verification requirement since it's hosted in the sdkman
organization.

As I wrote at the beginning of the thread, defining a specific maven
version is just one of many other maven related actions. For example, I've
found issues with the default settings.xml included in GitHub actions
and shrinkwrap-resolve so I ended up using actions like
whelk-io/maven-settings-xml-action and then migrated to the sh script
approach Romain mentioned after Apache infra recommendation was to remove
the usage to non verified actions.

Hi César,

Any interesting feature compared to using a plain sh script with sdkman?
Looks like saner since it will enable you to setup java and maven properly
at the same stage which is the actual prerequisite of a maven build vs
using multiple random actions.
Did you investigate this option?

Re: Official Maven Github Actions

[Falko Modler]

Hi all,

FWIW, a wrapper also doesn't help if you want to test extensions or
plugins with multiple Maven versions.
E.g.:
-
https://github.com/gitflow-incremental-builder/gitflow-incremental-builder/blob/master/.github/workflows/maven.yml#L105-L136
-
https://github.com/gitflow-incremental-builder/gitflow-incremental-builder/blob/master/.github/workflows/maven.yml#L144-L155

So in general I like the idea, if such actions are maintained properly.

Cheers,
Falko

For Maven 3.x you may use Takari's Maven Wrapper[1] to get similar behavior.

However for those that can't set a wrapper for several reasons (for example
Apache projects do not allow JARs in their repositories those the wrapper
cannot be set before hand).
the a Github Action may be thew way to go.

Official Maven Github Actions

[Cesar Hernandez]

Hi,

The problems:

Currently, the official Github actions for building and testing Java with
Maven [1] don't offer a way to specify the Maven version a workflow can use.
Adding this support seems to be out of the scope of the
current actions/checkout@v2. [2].

In the Github actions market are already a couple of alternatives to
perform this setup [3] but are non-verified third parties actions.

Currently, in the Github actions market are cero verified Maven related
actions [5] but there are already a couple really useful maven related
actions beyond just the version settings [6]

Since early 2021, Apache related projects allows only verified actions to
be used in workflows.


The opportunity:
Base on the interaction with the Actions team [2] it seems Actions
verification can be done if the actions are created as part of the official
projects. For example Ruby setup action [4].

Before brainstorming in solution, creating a JIRA or a PR with draft
implementation, I would like to know if there is any interest within the
Maven community to offer to users certified Maven Github actions?
