Is there any possibility to reduce the size of maven distribution
Hi all,
I am currently working on a project which packs `maven` distribution in
itself, so that the programme is capable of performing a `maven` build if
the running system is having `Java` pre installed. Since the `maven`
distribution (apache-maven-3.5.2-bin.zip) size is around 9MB the total
resultant output of the program becomes bulky. Is there any way to reduce
the size of the `maven` distribution by keeping only the libs which
required for performing the maven build.
Thanks

Hi,
You can do a successful build with mvnw too. It just downloads the maven distribution (the 9MB) also before Maven downloads "half the internet" when building.
So if you are not running the actual build in offline mode it's just 9MB more to download before running the build which gets also cached for future use.

Hi Samuli,
Thank you for the quick response. But what I want is to reduce the size of
a given `maven` distribution (if possible) without losing the ability of
performing a successful build so that overall size of my application can be
reduced. (`maven` distribution is around 9MB)
Once again thank your for quickly responding :)

Hi,
Could you use maven wrapper [1]? It obviously needs to download Maven from the interwebs when performing the build though.

Hi Samuli,
Thanks for the reply. As with the response from Anders, I decided to keep
the distribution as it is since it having only the basic features required
for build.
Thank you once again :)

I believe you can shave off 1 to 2M by removing those already shaded by

I doubt there is very much you can remove. The Maven installation just
includes the basic features to perform the core features of a build, then
additional plugins are downloaded as needed to do specific tasks during the
build steps. I think that you could reduce the size by removing the color
logging support (jansi).
Please keep in mind that Maven will (typically) download A LOT of artifacts
during the build. So the 9MB of Maven core is not your main concern if you
want to keep the total size down.
