Setup Maven Action

This is composite action which help to prepare GitHub Actions environment for Maven build by calling:

• actions/checkout
• actions/setup-java
• actions/cache
• stCarolas/setup-maven
• s4u/maven-settings-action

❗ You should not include above actions in your configuration - in other case those will be called twice. ❗

For default values you only need:

    steps:

      - name: Setup Maven Action
        uses: s4u/setup-maven-action@< version >

      - run: mvn -V ...

Params mapping for sub actions

checkout

params	destination	default
checkout-fetch-depth	fetch-depth
checkout-path	path
checkout-ref	ref
checkout-repository	repository	${{ github.repository }}
checkout-token	token	${{ github.token }}
checkout-persist-credentials	persist-credentials	false

setup-java

params	destination	default
java-version	java-version	17
java-distribution	distribution	temurin

cache

A cache action is configured as:

    - uses: actions/cache
      with:
        path: |
          ${{ inputs.cache-path }}
          ${{ inputs.cache-path-add }}
        key: ${{ inputs.cache-prefix }}${{ runner.os }}-jdk${{ inputs.java-version }}-${{ inputs.java-distribution }}-maven${{ inputs.maven-version }}-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
        restore-keys: ${{ inputs.cache-prefix }}${{ runner.os }}-jdk${{ inputs.java-version }}-${{ inputs.java-distribution }}-maven${{ inputs.maven-version }}-

So we can use for action:

params	description
cache-enabled	enable cache. Default true
cache-path	default cache path for Maven with value ~/.m2/repository
cache-path-add	additional value for cache path
cache-prefix	prefix value for key and restore-keys cache params

setup-maven

params	destination	default
maven-version	maven-version	3.9.6

maven-settings-action

params	destination
settings-servers	servers
settings-mirrors	mirrors
settings-properties	properties
settings-sonatypeSnapshots	sonatypeSnapshots

Testing against different Maven versions

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        maven: [ '3.8.8', '3.9.6' ]

    name: Maven ${{ matrix.maven }} sample

    steps:

      - name: Setup Maven Action
        uses: s4u/setup-maven-action@< version >
        with:
          java-version: 8
          maven-version: ${{ matrix.maven }}

      - run: mvn -V ...
