Synopsis
Downloads an artifact from a maven repository given the maven coordinates provided to the module.
Can retrieve snapshots or release versions of the artifact and will resolve the latest available version if one is not available.

PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, |

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If |

The path where the artifact should be written to If file mode or ownerships are specified and destination path already exists, they affect the downloaded file |

Filesystem permission mode applied recursively to |
|
The maven type/extension coordinate Default: |
|
httplib2, the library used by the uri module only sends authentication information when a webservice responds to an initial request with a 401 status. Since some basic auth services do not properly send a 401, logins will fail. This option forces the sending of the Basic authentication header upon initial request. Choices:
|
|
Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to chown. When left unspecified, it uses the current group of the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. |
|
The Maven groupId coordinate |
|
Add custom HTTP headers to a request in hash/dict format. |
|
If This option only has effect when Choices:
|
|
The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have. For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, If If Specifying |
|
Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to chown. When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. Specifying a numeric username will be assumed to be a user ID and not a username. Avoid numeric usernames to avoid this confusion. |
|
The password to authenticate with to the Maven Repository. Use AWS secret access key of the repository is hosted on S3 |
|
The URL of the Maven Repository to download from. Use s3://… if the repository is hosted on Amazon S3, added in version 2.2. Use file://… if the repository is local, added in version 2.6 Default: |

The level part of the SELinux filesystem object context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the When set to |

|
A list of headers that should not be included in the redirection. This headers are sent to the On ansible-core version 2.12 or later, the default of this option is Useful if the redirection URL does not need to have sensitive headers in the request. Requires ansible-core version 2.12 or later. |
|
Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem object. By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner. This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn’t force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption. Choices:

The username to authenticate as to the Maven Repository. Use AWS secret key of the repository is hosted on S3 |
