Need support for multiple maven repositories #828
Description
Description:
Need for support of multiple maven repositories.
Justification:
Custom (JFrog for example) Maven artifactories usually have separate repositories for release and snapshot versions.
Currently this action only supports one repository configuration, which makes it impossible to specify more than one (release and snapshot repositories for example).
That would inevitably lead to changing the maven config in the action yaml every time the version changes to/from release/snapshot.
If we had support for specifying multiple repositories, this problem will not happen at all.
With this support, we'll be able to generate settings.xml like this:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

@aparnajyothi-y, Just so you know, I raised the PR for the same and linked in the issue description too. 🙂

Hello., is there any update on this? It'd be a nice feature to have.
PS: the PR have some conflicts. It might need to be updated

Extracted from PR #827: support configuring multiple Maven entries in generated settings.xml, each with its own id/username/password mapping, so release and snapshot repositories can be configured at the same time without editing workflow inputs between releases.
Core idea:
Expected outcome:

This appears to be a duplicate of #85 ("Add support for multiple servers"). Both stem from the same limitation —
setup-javacurrently supports configuring only a single Maven server entry insettings.xml— so configuring multiple repositories (e.g. separate release/snapshot or multiple registries) isn't possible.This is being addressed by PR #1037, which adds a structured multi-server credentials input that generates multiple
<server>entries insettings.xml. Tracking the work in #85 / #1037.brunoborges commentedon Jul 28, 2026
Closing as a duplicate of #85. Both issues request multiple Maven
<server>credential entries in the generatedsettings.xml; the release/snapshot use case and structured-input requirements from this issue have been incorporated into #85. Repository URL and dependency-resolution configuration remains tracked separately in #1054.
