Parameter	Comments
artifact_id string / required	The maven artifactId coordinate
attributes aliases: attr string	The attributes the resulting filesystem object should have. To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system. This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr. The `=` operator is assumed as default, otherwise `+` or `-` operators need to be included in the string.
checksum_alg string added in middleware_automation.common 3.2.0	If `md5`, checksums will use the MD5 algorithm. This is the default. If `sha1`, checksums will use the SHA1 algorithm. This can be used on systems configured to use FIPS-compliant algorithms, since MD5 will be blocked on such systems. Choices: `"md5"` ← (default) `"sha1"`
classifier string	The maven classifier coordinate Default: `""`
client_cert path added in middleware_automation.common 1.3.0	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, `client_key` is not required.
client_key path added in middleware_automation.common 1.3.0	PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If `client_cert` contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.
dest path / required	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
directory_mode string	Filesystem permission mode applied recursively to `dest` when it is a directory.
extension string	The maven type/extension coordinate Default: `"jar"`
force_basic_auth boolean added in middleware_automation.common 0.2.0	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: `false` ← (default) `true`
group string	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.
group_id string / required	The Maven groupId coordinate
headers dictionary	Add custom HTTP headers to a request in hash/dict format.
keep_name boolean	If `true`, the downloaded artifact's name is preserved, i.e the version number remains part of it. This option only has effect when `dest` is a directory and `version` is set to `latest` or `version_by_spec` is defined. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
mode any	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, `'644'` or `'1777'`) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, `0755`) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. 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, `u+rwx` or `u=rw,g=r,o=r`). If `mode` is not specified and the destination filesystem object does not exist, the default `umask` on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. If `mode` is not specified and the destination filesystem object does exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. Specifying `mode` is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details.
owner string	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.
password string	The password to authenticate with to the Maven Repository.
repository_url string	The URL of the Maven Repository to download from. Use file://... if the repository is local, added in version 2.6 Default: `"https://repo1.maven.org/maven2"`
selevel string	The level part of the SELinux filesystem object context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the `range`. When set to `_default`, it will use the `level` portion of the policy if available.
serole string	The role part of the SELinux filesystem object context. When set to `_default`, it will use the `role` portion of the policy if available.
setype string	The type part of the SELinux filesystem object context. When set to `_default`, it will use the `type` portion of the policy if available.
seuser string	The user part of the SELinux filesystem object context. By default it uses the `system` policy, where applicable. When set to `_default`, it will use the `user` portion of the policy if available.
state string	The desired state of the artifact Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
timeout integer	Specifies a timeout in seconds for the connection attempt Default: `10`
unredirected_headers list / elements=string added in middleware_automation.common 5.2.0	A list of headers that should not be included in the redirection. This headers are sent to the `fetch_url` function. On ansible-core version 2.12 or later, the default of this option is `[Authorization, Cookie]`. Useful if the redirection URL does not need to have sensitive headers in the request. Requires ansible-core version 2.12 or later.
unsafe_writes boolean	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: `false` ← (default) `true`
username string	The username to authenticate as to the Maven Repository.
validate_certs boolean	If `false`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be set to `false` when no other option exists. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
verify_checksum string	If `never`, the MD5/SHA1 checksum will never be downloaded and verified. If `download`, the MD5/SHA1 checksum will be downloaded and verified only after artifact download. This is the default. If `change`, the MD5/SHA1 checksum will be downloaded and verified if the destination already exist, to verify if they are identical. This was the behaviour before 2.6. Since it downloads the checksum before (maybe) downloading the artifact, and since some repository software, when acting as a proxy/cache, return a 404 error if the artifact has not been cached yet, it may fail unexpectedly. If you still need it, you should consider using `always` instead - if you deal with a checksum, it is better to use it to verify integrity after download. `always` combines `download` and `change`. Choices: `"never"` `"download"` ← (default) `"change"` `"always"`
version string	The maven version coordinate Mutually exclusive with `version_by_spec`.
version_by_spec string added in middleware_automation.common 0.2.0	The maven dependency version ranges. See supported version ranges on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution The range type "(,1.0],[1.2,)" and "(,1.1),(1.1,)" is not supported. Mutually exclusive with `version`.
