The Executor suite provides means to execute Maven 3 and Maven 4 programmatically, usually as part of some “integration builds” suite for some plugin or extensions, or Maven itself.
The dependency-less artifact maven-executor provides API and two executor implementations out of the box: “forked” and “embedded”. There are more providers in providers/ sub-projects. In total, below is list of supported executors:
forked OOTB with maven-executorembedded OOTB with maven-executordocker-exe uses Docker CLI and runs Apache Maven Docker Imagetestcontainers uses Docker via TestContainers and runs Apache Maven Docker ImageMaven Executor 1.x line will contain only the executor bits, needed to run Maven ITs. Maven Executor 2.x line will add extra features a top of executors.
Development should happen against main branch. In case of need, improvements may be back-ported to executor-1.x branch, to release patch releases, but in general, the 2.x line is under development.
