Puppet-Maven

A Puppet recipe for Apache Maven, to download artifacts from a Maven repository

Uses Apache Maven command line to download the artifacts.

Building and Installing the Module

To build the module for installing in your Puppet master:

gem install puppet-module
git clone git://github.com/maestrodev/puppet-maven.git
cd puppet-maven
puppet module build
puppet module install pkg/maestrodev-maven-0.0.1.tar.gz

Of course, you can also clone the repository straight into /etc/puppet/modules/maven as well.

If you are developing the module, it can be built using rake:

gem install bundler
bundle
rake

In this case other required gems are automatically installed, and the package resides in the same location for publishing to your Puppet master.

Usage

  maven { "/tmp/myfile":
    id => "groupId:artifactId:version:packaging:classifier",
    repos => ["id::layout::http://repo.acme.com","http://repo2.acme.com"],
  }

or

  maven { "/tmp/myfile":
    groupid => "org.apache.maven",
    artifactid => "maven-core",
    version => "2.2.1",
    packaging => "jar",
    classifier => "sources",
    repos => ["id::layout::http://repo.acme.com","http://repo2.acme.com"],
  }

Examples

Setup

  $central = {
    id => "myrepo",
    username => "myuser",
    password => "mypassword",
    url => "http://repo.acme.com",
    mirrorof => "external:*",      # if you want to use the repo as a mirror, see maven::settings below
  }

  # Install Maven
  class { "maven::maven":
    version => "2.2.1", # version to install
    # you can get Maven tarball from a Maven repository instead than from Apache servers, optionally with a user/password
    repo => {
      #url => "http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2",
      #username => "",
      #password => "",
    },
    user                 => "root",  # if you want to run it as a different user (defaults to root), will create it if not defined
    home                 => "/root", # home directory of the user
    user_system          => true,    # make the user a system user
    maven_opts           => "",      # anything to add to MAVEN_OPTS in ~/.mavenrc
    maven_path_additions => "",      # anything to add to the PATH in ~/.mavenrc
  } ->

  # Create a settings.xml with the repo credentials
  maven::settings { 'root' :
    mirrors => [$central], # mirrors entry in settings.xml, uses id, url, mirrorof from the hash passed
    servers => [$central], # servers entry in settings.xml, uses id, username, password from the hash passed
  }

  # defaults for all maven{} declarations
  Maven {
    user  => "maven", # you can make puppet run Maven as a specific user instead of root, useful to share Maven settings and local repository
    group => "maven", # you can make puppet run Maven as a specific group
    repos => "http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2"
  }

Downloading artifacts

  maven { "/tmp/maven-core-2.2.1.jar":
    id => "org.apache.maven:maven-core:2.2.1:jar",
    repos => ["central::default::http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2","http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2"],
  }

  maven { "/tmp/maven-core-2.2.1-sources.jar":
    groupid    => "org.apache.maven",
    artifactid => "maven-core",
    version    => "2.2.1",
    classifier => "sources",
  }

Buildr version

Initially there was an Apache Buildr version, but it required to have Buildr installed before running Puppet and you would need to enable pluginsync in both master and clients.
