aws-maven
A Maven Wagon implementation for publishing and retrieving artifacts from Amazon S3 buckets.
What is aws-maven?
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.
Overview
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.
Key Features
- S3 Protocol Support — Uses
s3://URLs in Maven repository configurations for direct S3 bucket access - Flexible Authentication — Supports AWS credentials via environment variables, system properties, Maven settings.xml, or EC2 instance metadata
- Bucket Policy Integration — Relies on AWS bucket policies for access control rather than setting per-object ACLs
- Dual Repository Support — Configurable for both release and snapshot repositories within the same Maven project
Philosophy
The 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.
