Downloads an artifact from a maven repository given the maven coordinates provided to the module.
Can retrieve snapshots or release versions of the artifact and will resolve the latest available version if one is not available.

- 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
required: true
mode:
description:
- The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have.
- For those used to I(/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, V('644') or V('1777')) so Ansible receives
a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading
zero (for example, V(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, V(u+rwx)
or V(u=rw,g=r,o=r)).
- If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does not) exist,
the default C(umask) on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly
created filesystem object.
- If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does) exist,
the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used.
- Specifying O(mode) is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with
the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details.
type: raw
group:
description:
- Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(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.
type: str
owner:
description:
- Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(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.

choices:

default: present

C(latest).

description:
- The attributes the resulting filesystem object should have.
- To get supported flags look at the man page for I(chattr) on the target system.
- This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed
by I(lsattr).
- The C(=) operator is assumed as default, otherwise C(+) or C(-) operators need to
be included in the string.

required: true
unsafe_writes:
default: false
description:
- 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.

when no other option exists.

verify_checksum:
choices:
- never
- download
- change
- always
default: download
description:
- If C(never), the md5 checksum will never be downloaded and verified.
- If C(download), the md5 checksum will be downloaded and verified only after artifact
download. This is the default.
- If C(change), the md5 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 md5 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 C(always) instead - if you deal with a checksum, it is better to
use it to verify integrity after download.
- C(always) combines C(download) and C(change).
