Maven and Gradle

This guide covers native Maven tooling. For the simpler rvn pkg workflow that works without touching Maven configuration, see Getting started.

The examples use acme/jvm as a sample workspace and repository. In Ravenstash, copy the exact values from your repository page.

rvn mvn — native mvn with injected auth

rvn mvn passes all arguments directly to mvn, injecting the private repository URL and credentials from the active session. Your global settings.xml is not modified.

rvn mvn install --repo acme/jvm

Configure Maven directly

For environments where rvn is not available, configure the repository in pom.xml:

<repository>
  <id>ravenstash</id>
  <url>https://rvnsta.sh/n/maven/x/acme/jvm/</url>
</repository>

And credentials in settings.xml:

<server>
  <id>ravenstash</id>
  <username>token</username>
  <password>${env.RAVENSTASH_TOKEN}</password>
</server>

Publish with rvn pkg

For publishing, use rvn pkg publish rather than mvn deploy. It uploads directly to Ravenstash:

rvn pkg publish --repo acme/jvm

Current status

Available today: private Maven publishing, repository metadata, checksums, snapshots, releases, and authenticated artifact downloads. Public or anonymous Maven repositories are planned for later.
