Additional Information

Configuration for Maven Wrapper updates. Changes here affect how Renovate updates the version of Maven in the wrapper, not how it uses the wrapper.

Private registry authentication

If the Maven wrapper downloads artifacts from a private registry, Renovate can pass credentials to the wrapper command automatically.

When Renovate finds a custom repository URL in the wrapper configuration, it looks for matching hostRules with hostType: "maven" and passes the credentials to the wrapper command.

Both username and password must be set in the host rule for authentication to apply.

Example hostRules configuration:

{
  "hostRules": [
    {
      "matchHost": "private-registry.example.com",
      "hostType": "maven",
      "username": "renovate-bot",
      "password": "{{ secrets.MAVEN_PASSWORD }}"
    }
  ]
}
