I have been looking into the Maven Wrapper. We have mostly been using Gradle for new projects, but I was thinking of taking the Maven Wrapper in use for our legacy projects that still use Maven.
With Gradle we can create a custom gradle distribution that has all common settings and properties needed by projects built by gradle. How can we do the same with Maven? Now we have the files settings.xml and settings-security.xml stored in ~/.m2, which must be copied by all users into their own user home directory. Running mvn wrapper:wrapper gave me this maven-wrapper.properties distributionUrl= https://nexus.company.com:8443/repository/maven-public//org/apache/maven/apache-maven/3.8.4/apache-maven-3.8.4-bin.zip wrapperUrl= https://nexus.company.com:8443/repository/maven-public//org/apache/maven/wrapper/maven-wrapper/3.1.1/maven-wrapper-3.1.1.jar Even though the Maven Wrapper is downloaded from our Nexus, the dependencies are not, until I provide the settings.xml.
