Configuration Options

OptionTypeDescriptionDefault ValueSupports Repo ID Suffix
aether.artifactResolver.snapshotNormalizationbooleanIt replaces the timestamped snapshot file name with a filename containing the SNAPSHOT qualifier only. This only affects resolving/retrieving artifacts but not uploading those.trueno
aether.checksums.forSignaturebooleanFlag indicating if signature artifacts (.asc) should have checksums.falseno
aether.checksums.algorithmsStringList of algorithms passed to MessageDigest with which checksums are validated (downloaded) and generated (uploaded)."SHA-512,SHA-256,SHA-1,MD5"no
aether.conflictResolver.verbosebooleanFlag controlling the conflict resolver's verbose mode.falseno
aether.connector.basic.threads or maven.artifact.threadsintNumber of threads to use for uploading/downloading.5no
aether.connector.classpath.loaderClassLoaderClassLoader from which resources should be retrieved which start with the classpath: protocol.Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()no
aether.connector.connectTimeoutlongConnect timeout in milliseconds.10000yes
aether.connector.http.cacheStatebooleanFlag indicating whether a memory-based cache is used for user tokens, connection managers, expect continue requests and authentication schemes.trueno
aether.connector.http.credentialEncodingStringThe encoding/charset to use when exchanging credentials with HTTP servers."ISO-8859-1"yes
aether.connector.http.headersMap<String, String>The request headers to use for HTTP-based repository connectors. The headers are specified using a map of strings mapping a header name to its value. The repository-specific headers map is supposed to be complete, i.e. is not merged with the general headers map.-yes
aether.connector.https.cipherSuitesStringComma-separated list of Cipher Suites which are enabled for HTTPS connections.- (no restriction)no
aether.connector.https.protocolsStringComma-separated list of Protocols which are enabled for HTTPS connections.- (no restriction)no
aether.connector.perms.fileModeStringOctal numerical notation of permissions to set for newly created files. Only considered by certain Wagon providers.-no
aether.connector.perms.dirModeStringOctal numerical notation of permissions to set for newly created directories. Only considered by certain Wagon providers.-no
aether.connector.perms.groupStringGroup which should own newly created directories/files. Only considered by certain Wagon providers.-no
aether.connector.persistedChecksumsbooleanFlag indicating whether checksums which are retrieved during checksum validation should be persisted in the local filesystem next to the file they provide the checksum for.trueno
aether.connector.resumeDownloadsbooleanWhether to resume partially downloaded files if the download has been interrupted.trueyes
aether.connector.resumeThresholdlongThe size in bytes which a partial download needs to have at least to be resumed. Requires aether.connector.resumeDownloads to be true to be effective.64 * 1024yes
aether.connector.requestTimeoutlongRequest timeout in milliseconds.1800000yes
aether.connector.smartChecksumsbooleanFlag indicating that instead of comparing the explicit checksum from the remote repo with the calculated one it will try to extract the reference checksum from the actual artifact requests's response header named ETag in format {SHA1{<checksum>}}. This only works for HTTP(S) requests and certain transport extensions. In addition it only supports SHA-1.trueno
aether.connector.userAgentStringThe user agent that repository connectors should report to servers."Aether"no
aether.connector.wagon.configObjectThe configuration to use for the Wagon provider.-yes (must be used)
aether.dependencyCollector.maxCyclesintOnly up to the given amount cyclic dependencies are emitted.10no
aether.dependencyCollector.maxExceptionsintOnly exceptions up to the number given in this configuration property are emitted. Exceptions which exceed that number are swallowed.50no
aether.dependencyManager.verbosebooleanFlag controlling the verbose mode for dependency management. If enabled, the original attributes of a dependency before its update due to dependency managemnent will be recorded in the node's DependencyNode#getData() when building a dependency graph.falseno
aether.enhancedLocalRepository.trackingFilenameStringFilename of the file in which to track the remote repositories."_remote.repositories"no
aether.interactivebooleanA flag indicating whether interaction with the user is allowed.falseno
aether.metadataResolver.threadsintNumber of threads to use in parallel for resolving metadata.4no
aether.offline.protocolsStringComma-separated list of protocols which are supposed to be resolved offline.-no
aether.offline.hostsStringComma-separated list of hosts which are supposed to be resolved offline.-no
aether.priority.<class>floatThe priority to use for a certain extension class. class can either be the fully qualified name or the simple name stands for fully qualified class name. If the class name ends with Factory that suffix could optionally be left out.-no
aether.priority.implicitbooleanFlag indicating whether the priorities of pluggable extensions are implicitly given by their iteration order such that the first extension has the highest priority. If set, an extension's built-in priority as well as any corresponding aether.priority.<class> configuration properties are ignored when searching for a suitable implementation among the available extensions. This priority mode is meant for cases where the application will present/inject extensions in the desired search order.falseno
aether.snapshotFilterbooleanFlag whether the ContextualSnapshotVersionFilter should be forced to ban snapshots. By default, snapshots are only filtered if the root artifact is not a snapshot.falseno
aether.updateCheckManager.sessionStateStringManages the session state, i.e. influences if the same download requests to artifacts/metadata will happen multiple times within the same RepositorySystemSession. If "enabled" will enable the session state. If "bypass" will enable bypassing (i.e. store all artifact ids/metadata ids which have been updates but not evaluating those). All other values lead to disabling the session state completely."enabled"no

All properties which have yes in the column Supports Repo ID Suffix can be optionally configured specifically for a repository id. In that case the configuration property needs to be suffixed with a period followed by the repository id of the repository to configure, e.g. aether.connector.http.headers.central for repository with id central.

Property Type Conversion

If the value is not given in the target type the following conversions are applied.

FromToWith
StringbooleanBoolean.parseBoolean(...)
StringintInteger.parseInt(...)
StringlongLong.parseLong(...)
StringfloatFloat.parseFloat(...)

Set Configuration from Apache Maven

To set one of the configuration options from above just use system variables. As system variables only support String values the type conversion mentioned above needs to be leveraged. Sometimes Maven uses different default values than the Maven Resolver itself or tries to extract certain values from the server.xml.
