A Maven Wagon implementation for publishing and retrieving artifacts from Amazon S3 buckets.
AWS Maven Wagon is a Maven extension that enables developers to use Amazon S3 as a repository for Maven artifacts. It provides seamless integration with Maven's distribution management system, allowing teams to store build artifacts in S3 buckets for reliable, scalable storage.
Maven users and teams who need to publish or retrieve Maven artifacts (like JARs, WARs) to and from Amazon S3, particularly those already using AWS infrastructure.
It offers a transparent bridge between Maven's standard artifact management workflows and AWS S3's object storage, leveraging S3's scalability and durability without requiring custom deployment scripts. Its unique approach uses AWS bucket policies for access control instead of per-object ACLs, simplifying permission management.

s3:// URLs in Maven repository configurations for direct S3 bucket accessThe project follows Maven's Wagon architecture to provide a transparent bridge between Maven's artifact management system and AWS S3's object storage, maintaining compatibility with standard Maven workflows while leveraging AWS infrastructure.

Enables direct use of s3:// URLs in Maven's distributionManagement configuration, as shown in the README's pom.xml examples, making it straightforward to adopt for AWS-centric workflows.
Supports multiple AWS credential sources including environment variables, system properties, Maven settings.xml, and EC2 instance metadata, providing adaptability across different deployment environments.
Relies on AWS bucket policies for access control instead of per-object ACLs, reducing complexity for public or shared repositories, with detailed policy examples provided in the README.
Built on Maven's Wagon architecture, ensuring compatibility with existing Maven tools and workflows, such as dual repository support for releases and snapshots.
Tightly couples artifact storage to Amazon S3, making migration to other cloud providers difficult and limiting flexibility for multi-cloud strategies.
Requires users to manually create and manage AWS bucket policies for access control, which the README admits can be complex and error-prone, especially for public access setups.
Lacks built-in capabilities like artifact proxying, search interfaces, or dependency management tools found in dedicated repository managers like Nexus or Artifactory.
Setup involves editing multiple files (pom.xml and settings.xml), which can be cumbersome and prone to mistakes in larger teams or complex projects.
