maven Cookbook

Install and configure maven2 and maven3 from the binaries provided by the maven project.

Provides the maven LWRP for pulling a maven artifact from a mave repository and placing it in an arbitrary location.

Requirements

Platforms

Debian
Ubuntu
CentOS
Red Hat
Fedora

The following Opscode cookbooks are dependencies:

java - this cookbook not only depends on the java virtual machine but it also depends on the java_ark LWRP present in the java cookbooks
ark - used to unpack the maven tarball

Attributes

node['maven']['version'] - defaults to 3, specifies the major version of maven to install.
node['maven']['m2_home'] - defaults to '/usr/local/maven/'
node['maven']['2']['url'] - the download url for maven2
node['maven']['2']['checksum'] - the checksum, which you will have to recalculate if you change the download url using shasum -a 256
node['maven']['3']['url'] - download url for maven3
node['maven']['3']['checksum'] - the checksum, which you will have to recalculate if you change the download url using shasum -a 256
node['maven']['repositories'] - an array of maven repositories to use; must be specified as an array. Used in the maven LWRP.
node['maven']['setup_bin'] - Whether or not to put mvn on your system path, defaults to false
node['maven']['mavenrc']['opts'] - Value of MAVEN_OPTS environment variable exported via /etc/mavenrc template, defaults to -Dmaven.repo.local=$HOME/.m2/repository -Xmx384m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m

Recipes

default

Includes the java recipe, and then installs maven according to the version specified by the node['maven']['version'] attribute.

test

For testing only. From the development repository, use test-kitchen to test that the LWRP is operating with this recipe. Also contains example usage of the LWRP.

Usage

Simply include the recipe where you want Apache Maven installed.

The maven lwrp has two actions, :install and :put. They are essentially the same accept that the install action will name the the downloaded file artifact_id-version.packaging. For example, the mysql jar would be named mysql-5.1.19.jar.

Use the put action when you want to explicitly control the name of the downloaded file. This is useful when you download an artifact and then want to have Chef resources act on files within that the artifact. The put action will creat a file named name.packaging where name corresponds to the name attribute.

Providers/Resources

maven

artifact_id - if this is not specified, the resource's name is used
group_id - group_id for the artifact
version - version of the artifact
dest - the destination folder for the jar and its dependencies
packaging - defaults to 'jar'
classifier - distinguishes artifacts that were built from the same POM but differ in context
repositories - array of maven repositories to use, defaults to ["http://repo1.maven.apache.org/maven2"]
owner - the owner of the resulting file, default is root
mode - integer value for file permissions, default is 0644
transitive - whether to resolve dependencies transitively, defaults to false. Please note: Event true will only place one artifact in dest. All others are downloaded to the local repository.

Examples

maven 'mysql-connector-java' do
  group_id 'mysql'
  version  '5.1.19'
  dest     '/usr/local/tomcat/lib/'
end
# The artifact will be downloaded to /usr/local/tomcat/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.19.jar

maven 'solr' do
  group_id  'org.apache.solr'
  version   '3.6.1'
  packaging 'war'
  dest      '/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/'
  action    :put
end
# The artifact will be downloaded to /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/solr.war

maven 'custom-application' do
  group_id   'com.company.name'
  version    '2.0.0'
  dest       '/usr/local/tomcat/lib'
  classifier 'client'
  action     :put
end
# The artifact will be downloaded to /usr/local/tomcat/lib/custom-application-2.0.0-client.jar
