Maven

Catalog v8.

Installs Apache Maven on the JDK of the Java toolchain.

Select

[toolchains]
java = "21"
maven = "3"

Maven needs java in the same table. Choose both in the [toolchains] table of limanix.toml and apply the change. Maven and Gradle can be selected together.

Versions

Value	Maven	Notes
3	3.x	Recommended

The line comes from the base Nixpkgs revision and receives its updates with each catalog release.

Use

Inside the VM, from a directory that contains pom.xml:

mvn package

mvn --version shows the JDK that Maven runs on. A project with ./mvnw runs the Maven version that it pins, on the same JDK.
