      Problem description and workarounds

      Problem Description

      Takari's "mvnw" don't work with docker-pipeline and the "maven" image because docker-pipeline don't honor the Docker image entrypoint.

      The Docker image "maven" is having a collision of environment variables with Takari's "mvnw" using the environment variable "MAVEN_CONFIG" for a different thing:

      • "MAVEN_CONFIG" is used in Takari's "mvnw" to pass command line parameters (e.g. "-show-version" or "-settings path/to/settings.xml")
      • "MAVEN_CONFIG" is used in the Docker image "maven" to locate the Maven "user home" (i.e. "${user.home}/.m2")

      csanchez has mitigated this problem on the Docker image "maven" unsetting the "MAVEN_CONFIG" environment variable in the Docker image entrypoint (see here).

      Unfortunately, as the Jenkins Docker Pipeline is no longer honoring the Docker image entrypoint since v1.8 (see JENKINS-41316), the "MAVEN_CONFIG" is defined in the build agent execution environment with a value that is not compatible with "mvnw".

      Workarounds

      Using the Docker image "openjdk" instead of "maven"

      As Takari's "mvnw" installs the JVM, no need to use a Docker image "maven".

      node("linux-agent-with-docker") {
         docker.image('jdk-8').inside {
              git 'https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper.git'
              // begin the sh step with "env &&" for troubleshooting, no need in real life
              sh 'env && ./mvnw effective-settings'
          }
      }
       

      Unsetting "MAVEN_CONFIG"

      Unset the "MAVEN_CONFIG" environment variable in the "sh" steps before invoking "mvnw"

      node("linux-agent-with-docker") {
         docker.image('maven').inside {
              git 'https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper.git'
              // begin the sh step with "env &&" for troubleshooting, no need in real life
              sh 'unset MAVEN_CONFIG && env && ./mvnw effective-settings'
          }
      }
       

      Wrapping the call to "mvnw" in a "withMaven" step (requires "withMaven" version 3.0.3+)

      "withMaven" version 3.0.3+ sets the "MAVEN_CONFIG" with the Maven parameters defined for the Pipeline Maven Plugin and with sensible defaults.

      node("linux-agent-with-docker") {
         docker.image('maven').inside {
              git 'https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper.git'
              withMaven (...) {
                  // begin the sh step with "env &&" for troubleshooting, no need in real life
                  sh 'env && ./mvnw effective-settings'
              }
          }
      }
