When configuring the Maven plugin to download and extract Maven from a ZIP file, the withMaven step fails with the following error:

I download Maven from https://dlcdn.apache.org/maven/mvnd/1.0.3/maven-mvnd-1.0.3-windows-amd64.zip.
This ZIP archive contains a nested maven subfolder, and it seems the Jenkins Maven plugin does not handle this structure correctly.
Here is how I configured the Maven plugin:
The goal is to use a Nexus repository as a proxy by setting up a raw repository that points to the official Apache repository.
While I could manually repackage the ZIP to remove the extra subfolder and host it in a local repository, I’d prefer to avoid that approach, as it would require repackaging each time we upgrade Maven.
